Healing Upper Respiratory Infection With F10 Nebulization?

[kitedemon]

Hi ,

Can i just ask a question, this Is the first time ive encountered an RI with a beardie and my local vet gave baytril oraly for 10 days 6 weeks ago and again for another 10 days 2 weeks ago which still hasnt touched it

So im seeing specialist next week 100 miles away could someone tell me what the likely treatment would be for example

1 injection?
Different oral med?

Baring in mind i cant travel 100 miles everyday back and forth

Thanks i know it is slightly off topic but help would be appreciated

I have never seen RI in a beardie. I have seen lots of rescue snakes with ri. Oral treatment should be fine. The thing I question is 10 days. Reptiles have slow metabolisms and it usually takes 10 days to start working. I would expect to see 30 days in a snake anyway. Also my vet very very rarely uses baytril anymore as many bacteria are resistant to it and it is only gram negative bacteria. Did the vet do a culture? This is the best way to resolve the best drug to use. Sadly they typically are not as useful after a round on antibiotics.
