Thank you so much Pete.
I spoke with the exotics vet and although he doesn’t specifically have experience with seahorses, he works with fish all the time and can administer ceftazidime. He didn’t know about acetazolamide, so I’m not sure whether he’ll be able to administer that as well. I have Diamox, but only in tablet form, not injectionable. At this point, I’m pretty sure that Jasper has a hyperinflated swim bladder and was thinking I’d ask the vet to aspirate his swim bladder in addition to giving the antibiotics. Do you think this is a good idea?
Thank you,
Katy
