    Breana,
    What's your set up like and temps? I would make sure the hotspot is a solid 94.f. Don't skimp on that humidity either. Make sure there's plenty of air flow. Stagnant air is a cause for Ris and doesn't help getting rid of them. I've seen more and more folks having issues with reoccurring Ris and Ris that won't go away. Personally I think thats from too many vets just prescribing whatever and not doing cultures to find the most effective abo. We have to keep in mind that stress and setups come into play here as well but I would recommend going straight for the culture. Help her stay well hydrated with good humidity. If you mist only mist with warm water. I actually fill my sprayer with hot hot water and it comes out nice and warm as a nice fine mist. Keep as LOW stress as possible. Make sure she's in a low traffic area. If you use a tank you could cover it up, or the sides to make it nice and dark in there.
    And I'd say that if she's still showing signs of the Ri after all of her abos. Its time to do a revisit and push for that culture.
    Hope this helps.
