Just updating everyone. Sniffles passed away at about 2:30am last night. Her health continued to decline during the day. I am glad I got to be with her the extra time I did. It's been such a struggle. I wanted to thank everyone again for all your help.
I honestly dont know how people keep...
Is there side effects for penicillin? She just wants to sleep. And when is the normal time frame for when I should be noticing a difference in her? Been syringing her water like my vet instructed every few hours, but she hasn't eaten since 6am this morning, some scrambled egg. She seems a bit...
Perfect, just gave her some as recommended on the thread.
If she does pull through the day how long do I need to give her the penicillin? I've seen different opinions on this, some articles say no more than 3 other say at least 6-7 days.
Penicillin injection given, 1/4 cc in her breast muscle. Also gave her a syringe full of water with corid mixed in. She is resting and I will post with any progress. Thank you @Wyorp Rock @FlyingNunFarm @Eggcessive @casportpony and everyone else who's posted for supporting me and Sniffles! I...
This is perfect I have some notes written down from this page. Think I'm pretty prepared.

She made it through the night, but has continued to get worse. I am heading to tractor supply as soon as they open at 9am for the injectable penicillin. I just now got her to drink a lot of water, still not eating and now she is only laying down, has a hard time getting off the floor of the box...
Her water has electrolytes and vitamins I've added as a powder. The heater turns on and off on a regular basis. It doesn't sit directly on her. I don't have live mealworms, just the dried dead ones. She has been drinking a lot, thankfully. She has at least eaten something today. I will look into...
Thanks, it's horrible to think she has come this far to give up. It's hard to handle. I have a heater in the bathroom with her yes. And would you recommend calling the vet for antibiotics? Or tractor supply?
Yeah, I've checked her all over. I haven't seen any other wounds. Would you recommend antibiotics? I checked her temp this afternoon and it was 104.5 I'm really starting to worry, her appetite has really declined this afternoon. I can't even get her to est scrambled eggs.
And everytime I've...
