[Petbunny] OT: I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

It wasn't pills it was liquid and it was twice a day for 10 days. They
prefill syringes for me with the amount that is needed.
They always give me half or a few days worth because they "run out".
He brought her to vet and they had to open it up again and let it drain. Vet
said to continue the antibiotics, this was last Wed. I was having a hell day
so I couldn't go and he forgot to tell them we out of it.
I ended up using Pokey's baytril and proved to the SO that it didn't kill
Pokey.
We are now where near being out of the woods with this but I have hope.
