    R.I. Issue
    I bought an albino about a month ago. I left him at the pet store so he could dry out. They had given him the injections to help clear everything up. He looked good so I brought him home. When I looked at him he was full of bubbles and having issues again. What should I do to clear him up again?

    As I'm sure others will say:

    Take him to a vet!

    Thanks,

    What kind of injections was he on? How long was he on them? What is "drying out"?

    Don't mean to hijack the thread, but is a popping sound a sign of an RI?

    Yes he was seen by a reptile vet. I dont know exactly what the injections were. They just told me the vet had given him some injections. When I say drying out, Im talking about not producing bubbles

    Did the vet do a culture? There's a possibility that the right medication wasn't prescribed if symptoms have returned.
