help

How do I cure r.I ... ive never had one b4 and my big girl got one I think ive been making her tub to humid .. cold and to much humidity cause ri correct? .. so can I fix this from home ?? Or is there medicine I can order online ??

You can bump the heat up and drop the humidity...It might clear up on it's own...Your best bet is to go to a vet and get meds.

Yea thats what i did .. what are the meds called?? Is there anyway I can get the meds online ? The vet is like 2 hours from here

Pretty much any Vet is gonna' give her a shot of Baytril (Seems to be the go-to drug of choice). I don't know if you can get it online, and I don't know if it's the best course of action. Maybe Skiploader will chime in. He knows more about reptile medicine than most Vets.

O if its a shot then I would just take her .. what's the chances of her beating it with the heat turned up and humidity dropped .. and how long should I wait if I dont see a change .. I noticed it yesterday and thought it was dry skin caus I just had her out for a second and then today I seen it and heard the wheezing .. its not bubbling .. and ive never felt with this so I dont know the severity of it .. I can get some pics later tonight on break

No, you can't order antibiotics online, a vet has to prescribe them so a visit is needed. Until you can get her to the vet bump up her heat a few degrees.

ok thanks

Bump up the temps to 95.
Keep humidity within range. Don't let it get too low because it does dry out the mucous, which can clog up the air ways even more.

Go to the vet. Get a culture done in order to determine what kind of antibiotics are effective. Not all meds will work because there are different strains/types of RI. So it's important to find out which ones will work.

Also, you can also use F10 + Fogger to do an at home nebulizing treatment for RI. Some vets have backed up this method.

thanks nikki a buddy just hit me up and said the same thing .. what would be the mix of f10 to water tho

2.5-3 mL of F10 per liter bottle of water. If you're using the Zoomed fogger,that bottle is a liter, so just syringe 2.5-3mL into it.
