Hello,
I have been a faithful reader to the GPDD for about the last month or so.
This is my first post.  Freddie, my 18 month old guinea pig has had head
tilting and seizures.  He is currently being treated with Bactrim.  The
seizures stopped, however Fred is still periodically doing the head tilt.

Leila, I was wondering, when the vet treated PJ for his ear infection,
what antibiotic was used?  Fred has had no other symptoms of an ear
infection other than the head tilt and seizures.  I was just looking for
some ideas to discuss with Fred's vet.  Fred was on Baytril for a very
short time (2 days) when he stopped eating.  How long did it take before
you noticed signs of improvement in the head tilting and seizures?

I was also wondering, does PJ have any lingering side effects from the
infection?

Thanks!
rachel
