Ok guys I could really use some help. So I got a very small Leo about 3 months ago and he's been doing great. About a week ago I saw him blow a bubble out of his nose. I asked a breeder and they told me he may have an upper respiratory infection, that I should give him an extra heating pad and soak him twice a day in warm water. I did that and then today I can home and he was visibly worse. His eyes were really watery and he was rubbing them alot so I took him to the vet.
So....he has giarrdia (sorry I'm not sure how to spell it), an upper respiratory infection and a vitamin A deficiency. Yeah. So needless to say I have a bag full of medication I am supposed to give him orally...but his head is about the size of the tip of my pinky and I really don't know how I'm supposed to accomplish that. I had the vet try and show me and he couldn't even do it.
So I got online and read cantaloupe does well for this sort of situation so I stopped and got one. Jack isn't having any of it (he's never had fruit before).
Does anyone know a sure fire way to get the medicine down??????
Please help and feel free to PM me.
Thanks.
