Poor Midnight! Good to hear he's eating all his baby food with the baytril. Does the vet want to see him back after he finishes his meds?
How long did she say for him to take the baytril?

Thanks Lizzy, I feel so bad for him really its like he doesn't know what to do with himself The vet doesn't want to see him again - she never mentioned it. He's on baytril for a week - twice daily

Hi Secretly, how's Midnight's paw looking now?
Just think of all the fun he'll have when he gets his wheel back,, Twinkle went nuts when she got hers back and I had to intervene a few times to make sure she had some water.

Well midnight paw seems to be better - no more cut/scab on the bottom or top. is it safe to put his wheel back in or should i wait the full week (so till thursday?) and should his antibiotics still be given till thursday just incase?

Always finish the course of antibiotics or you risk creating a resistant strain that comes back and is harder to kill. Why don't you try some limited supervised wheel time and see how it goes? Glad Midnight is doing well

Hi Secretly, totally agree with Piebald, it's always better to finish the course and supervised wheel time is fine. After he finishes his antibiotics, you can put his wheel back in his cage.
Good to hear his paw is healing.
