[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 1626035, member: 13050"] Think you have meds covered, I wouldn't give anything else at this stage unless she is no longer drinking off cow. Is she still sucking? One of the first signs of Meningitis is a slowing down of sucking reflexes. They also seem to extend their neck and stare into space. You may want to check all the leg joints and navel for signs of swelling/infection. Check in her mouth and 'eye lids' and see if she has red veins/membranes. Take her temperature. Let us know or phone your vet if necessary, she may need a more aggressive antibiotic...good luck! [/QUOTE]
