this happened with Bitsy. Do this in a ventilated area. By the time that we were finished cleaning them out I thought I might vomit.

the bloodtest came back "Highly Positive". Thanks vet! The Panacur treatment is going so well that her tilt is minimal now. Every day she's getting better. So glad to have this community around :)

So today's update: with the drops her eye is less red. I'm also seeing more of an improvement in her balance. No rolling, no stumbling or tipping or anything! She does still go in circles from time to time but that's it. Her tilt is still there but it's getting less and less. Her "down" eye...

no, she has pink eye. I have given her two doses of the meds and it is clearing up nicely already :)

I got the medicine for her so this thread can be closed :)

I got her some Cirpofloxacin from the vet 1.5 hours away. It's really red and puffy but today when I gave her the drops I offered her the water bottle and she drank a lot. I think that she might have been dehydrated and that made it worse. I'll give her the drops though until she's back to being...

They have a fan that runs all the time. It has never been a problem for them and the boy will sit with his face almost against it. It is probably dry in their room. I don't know if it is infected - I suspect that it is just dry. She just got off a round of anti-biotics when she had the headtilt...

As some of you know, Bitsy has headtilt. Yesterday I noticed that her "open eye" is a bit irratated and red. The tearduct appears to be a bit inflamed. I can't get her to the vet today but read this: "Then we moved to Texas. The ointment seemed to hurt her eyes, so we consulted Dr. M.J...

I just read this: "Then we moved to Texas. The ointment seemed to hurt her eyes, so we consulted Dr. M.J. Shifrin, of the Austin Animal Eye Clinic. He advised switching to an over-the-counter eye lubricant, such as Celluvisc or Lacrilube. Regular use of this people product seems effective as...

ugh. Now she has an eye irritation. It's red and a bit puffy. The vet can't see her today. Is there something else I can do for her or am I stuck waiting? Polysporin eyedrops? Anything??

Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop in with a photo update! when she would try to drink out of that bowl before she would fall over (often INTO it). Her tilt is way less pronounced than it was a few days ago. thanks for all the information and support that I have gotten.

I was okay with getting her the one test but each test is 200$ and to be honest, I don't see much point in getting them done if I continue to see an improvement over the next little while. I'm not even sure if I AM seeing an improvement but she is eating a lot, drinking a lot and is standing...

I think that I am seeing improvements in her. Slowly but surely!!

yeah, she seems to be eating more right now since she has been off the ABs. She's still on the dramamine twice a day and the Panacur as well as her mush food. She's sitting up right now and is managing to resist the spinning and falling / rolling so I'm glad for that. Not sure if it's the food...

good to know. Thank you so much for all your help and support over this last little while... it's been really freaky but it is good to know that she is at least on the way to recovery. We don't know for sure if it is EC and I'm unsure whether or not I should put her back on the Baytril. The...
