Tabetha is going to the vet on Wednesday

[naturestee]

Oh no! I hope she's okay.Maybe ask about treating her for E. cuniculi as well? Maybeshe has problems from both an ear infection and EC.

I know how scarey this is. It is not easy atall. Ask them to test for whatever it is exactly that is the best wayto treat it. Some meds won't work on certain things.

I hope everything goes ok. It does sound likesome kind of ear infection or e-cuniculi - I agree with JadeIcing& naturestee, testing is a good idea and it wouldn't hurt totreat for e-cuniculi too.

i haven't posted in a while but i got new news and very happy. i went to a different vet and he said tabby has vestibular disease. yay! i know what it is! umm.. so the other vet was right it had something to do with the head area but she did not know exactly what. according to the new vet it is very common and so tabby is on baytril tablets, and some kind of ear drops. he also has to eat cultured yogurt to keep or grow good bacteria in his system along with lots of greens. the vet isnt sure if he is going to get completely better because tabby has had it for awhile but tabby is still quite young so maybe he will get better.

weight 3.5 lbs.

i was just looking at my title 'tabby is going to the vet on wednesday' and it is ironic because lately whenever i go to the vet it is a wednesday.

strange huh?!
