I was holding my Male Pastel Tuesday evening, and after about ten minutes of handling he let loose a river of clear mucus. So yesterday I took him out in the morning, and tried to recreate what happened the night before. Out of all my BP's I had never seen anything like it, and it could have very well been that he just drank some water. However I didn't feel it was normal, and took him to the vet yesterday. We have an Avian and Exotic Vet here in the Raleigh area that is great! I took Obi-Wan Kenobi in yesterday, and after the exam and two slide smears they did agree that he had a RI in the very early stages.

Now all that being said. I have seen time and again on here that Baytril is the treatment for RI's. However they did prescribe Fortaz (ceftazidime). By far I am not a vet nor would I know the difference between the two medications, but has anyone else treated a RI with Fortaz (ceftazidime)?
