[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 981043, member: 5601"] Candee, Re: It’s sounding more and more like peritonitis to me. That is when bacteria enters the abdomen cavity and infects all organs from the outside. The hard time breathing is from the bloat produced by the infection which causes the pleural wall to be pushed up into the pleural cavity which restricts breathing. Check both his navel and scrotum for signs of infection. Has he been banded or cut? As for treatment: I would hit him with a heave dose of penicillin as I believe we are dealing with a bacterial infection. I would give him 10 CC SQ and 20 CC in his abdomen being careful not to inject it too deep to avoid injecting it into any organs. You want it in the abdomen cavity, not any of the organs there in. I would keep him on 10 CC SQ per day for at least one week and see if there is any improvement. SL [/QUOTE]
