well my little rat Sasha has head tilt which is a major infection of the inner ear, i noticed it at first 2 weeks ago but thought nothing off it as i thought she was just posing :P.
but other past few days she been tilting her head more and more, so i consulted the breeder i got her from, an awesome person she is, she has other 20 rats o.o.
wel anyway she said get her the vet asap, so i did within the hour, the vet confirmed it and gave me meds of baytril and metacam given twice and i thought great, the ratty i got to give it to is hell to hold to just get her out the cage :/
so you can guess what happened when try to syringe the meds in to her mouth :(, well basically it mainly went other her, so i put her in her cage to clean it off and hope it still gets into her system :)
but tomorrow morning i will have to get my nan to her :/ *she hates rat* so this is going to be more interesting :P
i will give update of her condition in 4-5 days

Well I've read of some people doing that. Perhaps a different med or a different situation.
I hope she gets well soon!
I'd be so upset if my babies got sick :C Wet Tail was bad enough.
the breeder i got her from said if she doesnt return to normal she'll lose her balance alot, rolling and falling other :(
and it can get worse and causes alot pain too her :S
