Bloat & Gasping mouth - does bloat cause gasping? Antibiotics continue??

[LanSeaAir]

I have read and followed everything posted about Bloat. Daisy is a rescue I got 7 days ago. She is going on 4wks at 59g has lower teeth and some downy hair starting on belly. She has been on antibiotics clavamox (dosed by email) twice a day for 5 days because of blood she swollowed when I found her she had a long blood clot pulled out of her mouth. Took a few days to get the blood out of her stomach. Thought she was good until this occurred. I stopped the antibiotics today cause I dont know with bloat if I should continue? However she is wheezing still and open and closing mouth breathing. Help?

Bloat occurred at 11pm last night was noticed. DAISY has guppy mouth eating habits & doesn't stop at all so not helping her suck air. Today I have only been administrating .03 cc water every hour since 6am for the bloat, doing bath soaks, belly rubs. Only pee no pooping since last night ....she has had 4 doses throughout day of infant gasx 0.1cc. Its now 6pm and she has peed but zero bowel moments since last night. How many doses of gas x can she have in a day? Continue antibiotics?

Daisy pooped at 8pm however the bloating got tighter. Not happy that gas x not working at all.

I did but with covid I met Emily another rehabber here who works at the overnight vet hospital. They think she has a gas producing bacteria in her gut but they where surprised she never had diarrhea from clavamox, told them I was lucky to get the blood she had in her system too pass but she never got diarrhea. But they r saying she needs injectable antibiotic like naxcel or polyflex.

How’s Daisy doing this morning? You never mentioned what the vet thought the gasping was.

This is what was shared about the vet's assessment... :thinking

Which formula has Daisy been being fed?

[Mel1959]

That’s a good question. I’m not sure it’s been mentioned what formula is being used.
