    Re: Treating My First Respiratory Infection

    You can't compare how things affect humans to how they affect animals.
    For example...eucalyptus oil is toxic to cats. Even just the essential oil being diluted and diffused. Cats are missing many of the metabolizing enzymes in the liver that other mammals have. Birds are even more susceptible and sensitive then that.
    Before good and experienced veterinarians were available for reptiles, people naturally turned to treatments they knew helped in human and other animal applications. Some of the snakes treated like that, may have simply survived despite the wrong treatment, not because of it.
    I know you want to do something to make her feel better. It's difficult to watch a beloved animal being in distress.
    I believe the best thing you can do now is to raise the temperature slightly, keep the humidity at a good level and minimize stress until you can get her to a vet.
    I hope that your babies will get better soon and that things will look up for you soon..
