It is nearly impossible for anyone to provide an accurate diagnosis for your animal let alone suggest a possible treatment with some very potent drugs over the internet. In my personal collection I diagnose and treat the vast majority of animals that need medical attention myself, but I get to see them in person. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving out that kind of information without seeing the animal first hand. IMO, anything less is really pretty irresponsible.
