Those capsules of powder will be fine. You can just mix it up with water or juice, or sprinkle some o her greens/veggies.
Sure, I can send my email to you & you can email me the blood tests if you would like.
The metacam is for pain management & should only be used temporarily but not long term.
If you suspect respiratory issues, then you can try the Baytril again as directed per the dose last time. Do you have a nebulizer?
The colloidal silver can be used to help boost immune system function as well as in a nebulizer, too.
Are you keeping her tank around 80 overnight to help boost her immune system?
I am sorry she is still not doing well. Keep us posted on her.

I know, & understand totally. What you could do for now is simply use the colloidal silver in the nebulizer treatments to see if that begins to help out before starting her on the Baytril.
I forgot you have my email so just send the blood test results anytime.
You can give 2-4mls daily to help with hydration if she will take that much.
It is getting a little harder to find greens now, so just do the best you can with that.
Gout can cause temperature regulation issues as they may get overheated more easily. Try to keep her basking temperatures to a minimum if you can. Maybe 96-98F, max.
I hope she is feeling better soon.
Let us know how she is doing.

How much Silver in the Neb and how often? The labs are in this thread somewhere but I will email them to you as well. Ty

I did get your email, so let me look over that for you.
I am not sure how on earth the bloating could be that pronounced & in a few days be gone.
Gout can cause bloating/swelling but not quite like that. The only thing I can think of of would be fluid build up from kidney or liver issues. I don't know she could lose that much bloat though in a few days.
Did you reduce her insects weekly?

You are doing fine, the protein levels should be good with the limited feeders you are giving.
Continue with oral fluids, greens slurries if you are doing those.
I hope the nebulizer treatment went well today & that she didn't mind it. How long did you try it for?
Are her colors looking good also?

How is she doing today?
Oh ok, you nebulized inside of her tank? Well, she most likely got the large portion of it then. You can also build one out of a plastic bin, too.
When it comes to pneumonia or other stubborn respiratory issues, nebulization is extremely effective because they don't have cilia in their lungs to help clear out debris from infections. The meds penetrate lung tissues more effectively when breathing it in like that.
I hope she is feeling better today.

That is helpful when they are cooperative when taking meds or in this case the nebulization treatment. So she likes to watch the mist? LOL That is pretty funny actually. If she is taking in a good amount of it then you can continue the treatments that way then.
It sounds like she felt a little better today if she did eat some greens & doesn't have a black beard.
That is good she likes the serrapeptase also. Maybe she will just continue to improve & have more good days.

Sure, the spirulina has some protein & other vital minerals, etc which would be very healthy for her.
I am glad she had a good day today with her breathing! I guess the mist/vapor is soothing possibly.
Do you have the liquid electrolytes? You can give .5ml to 1ml several times per week.
Were her urates soft or hard?
