But NEVER ever let it get worse. TRUST me, that is the worst thing you could do because by then it will be too late.

Baytril and Fortaz together is the best, but most Vets don't have Fortaz. If they do, you know you're at a good reptile Vet. Baytril alone will usually work for a mild RI, but if you want to make 99% sure you'll knock it out....get Fortaz also.

A thorough Vet may want to do a culture....which is honestly best....but it's a leeetle costly.
