Hello! I am just looking for advice, I am at the end of my rope....
My bun Keiji, he has pneumonia. I took him to the vet, spent over 800$ so far, he is going on his fourth week of antibiotics, but I don't see any improvement! After the first week of antibiotics, he seemed to bounce back and he gained weight...but it didn't last long, maybe 2 days...
Now, he barely eats anything, he is so skinny. He will nibble at his food a bit, eat a couple of bites, he will eat more if I sit down with him and hand feed him, but he will only eat Kale. He doesn't have any mucus in his nose or anything else, just barely eating. His poop is fine, just very tiny because of not eating...
Also, giving him the meds stresses him out a lot, after I give it to him, he will run and hide and breathes a little heavily and that is why I think the pneumonia is still there (they said it was pretty bad). Unless it's just the extreme humidity we've been getting here...
I tried everything I could! I even bought an air purifier and a dehumidifier for my room. But I don't have over 1,000$ for surgery.
I did not go to the vet for follow-up ex-rays though, because I see that he's still not 100%...I don't know if I should keep with the antibiotics or just stop them!?? I am also waiting for a response from the vet on what to do now, but any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Oh! I also have some critical care food to give him, but he won't take it...he just lets it drip down.
