Question Oliver's continued recovery??

This post continues the Mouth Rot post.

Thanks to all who gave me advise.

Please read the other string before asking about her set-up.

Oliver's snarky attitude is back which is wonderful. However she is not eating very much. I have managed to get a small meal into her every second day and chase her anti-biotic with a few ml or diluted gatorade to make sure she remains hydrated.

She has also been drinking in the tub (I drip the water over her nose).

Two questions: could the Baytril be causing this loss of apetite (she was a very enthusiastic eater before she got sick)?

SHe seemed to sneeze or something when put back on her basking spot after the bath. She has only done this twice both under the same situation. She drank a lot in the tub. I dried her off and put her under her light. She jerks back hard a couple times (these incidences are two weeks apart).

Besides the eating, she is running around. Going to her favourite spots etc...... It's nice to see her coming out of this.

I'm going to try to get some silkworms for her on an upcoming trip to maine. Anyone know a good place?

you shouldn't give Gatorade at my oppinion.. TOO much sugar.
you could buy some pedylite from drug store.. this is for hydrating babies ...
about silkies, www.silkworms.ca is a good place, he ship in canada.
about the sneeze.. I don't know, call the vet, or it could be water in the noze lol..
