Re: Eyes don't seem right.
Ineresting stuff
... just administered .... can I just say that getting musk royally applicated to your forearm during tube insertion is not fun!!! ... and this will happen every two days for the next two weeks 
.
Incidentally, on the vets advice, the antibiotic is syringed into the holding chamber of the tube and then I deliver it along with a salmon paste pushing it down with a syringe (the paste is a back up as Romain said that Xerxes would likely go off feed during treatment). Eliminate air bubbles where possible.Keeping - 'Florida blue' sirtalis, concinnus, infernalis, parietalis, radix, marcianus and ocellatus.

Re: Eyes don't seem right.

yes - doing treatments is generally a pain
just as long as you get it knocked out though - you'll be happy when it's overrhea

Re: Eyes don't seem right.
He seems to be getting along. Just shed today, again both eyecaps present in shed. Both eyes are still not 100% but both look 'clearer'. I'll wait until the antibiotics course is finished and then will consult Romain again.
sorry James ... no musking pics yet
