Yafe got his third nebulizer treatment of Baytril today.
When he finished, he seemed fine, but was wheezing a little. He hasn't wheezed in probably ten days or more. What was interesting was that he did not seem uncomfortable. He was acting normal otherwise and flicking his tongue, etc. Tonight, he's had his head up against the corner of the tank, elevated about 10 inches.
I have a theory. In addition to the Baytril, it is mixed with sterile water (1ml/5ml Baytril/Sterile water) in the nebulizer. In addition to a 20-30 minute treatment of Baytril, he's also breathing in 100% humidity air. It almost sounded to me, and judging by his lack of discomfort at the time, that things were really starting to break up. I am hopeful that a) the high humidity is doing him some good (I am keeping the tank 55-65% or so as well) and helping clean out the gunk, and b) this will help and means the Baytril is penetrating. 18 more days of nebulizer, so I am hoping I am correct and on to something and this is a good sign. However, if it's not, there is still plenty of time for him to improve.
Yafe with his head up against the tank corner. He bent his neck a little before I took the picture. I am hoping that's a good sign too.
