So heres my whole deal going on with my girl. Initially I took her to a vet and was told yes she does indeed have a RI but its very mild so you can just raise the temps and keep it all about a solid 95/80 with 50% and you should be fine. Then after I read on here that if left untreated it'll just get worse I went in search of a new vet. Called around and asked the vets how they would treat a RI and went with the one who said the shots. So took her in, they confirmed the mild RI and gave me Zosyn. Gave her the shots (.22 each shot) every other day for two weeks, the last one was today. While she hasn't gotten any worse she sounds the same so I'm going to be trying another vet which is closer to my new apt. I'm going to insist on a culture but my only problem is with the shots I was never able to give the actual shot myself. I was able to get the needle into the skin, but not deep enough to actually inject it, luckily my father was able to do it for me. However now that I'm no longer at home (and about a half hour away) its not gonna work if I need to give shots again every other day when I can't do them myself. I'm wondering if I can do oral meds, do they still work as well? Now this is all hinged on the possibility of her still having the RI which I think is a good possibility, I just want to have it all straightened out for when I actually go in to see the vet.
