This is the best way to resolve the best drug to use. Sadly they typically are not as useful after a round on antibiotics.

You might PM skiploader and seek his insight.
Hi heading to specialist next wednesday only time i could get because i live so far away, did my vet do a culture? No as she said she would rather leave it to specialist because baytril never worked, it helped clear the mucus but failed to rid of his cough!

Just wondered if injection was the prefered method from reptile vet?
