[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2039627, member: 31715"] That's not how the body works. The body fights and tries to adapt for as long as it can under less than ideal conditions until it can't fight it anymore. Think of just about any health issue us humans get. It's almost always traced back to years of improper diet or living. Just because your lights/husbandry have been OK up until now does not mean that they are not contributing to your dragons health issues. Nothing in your husbandry is more important for your dragons health than proper temperatures, and proper lighting. Can you post a picture of your setup, and give details on your lighting setup, including temperatures inside your tank. URI's are caused by either a bacterial infection, or a viral infection. Antibiotics will only work for a URI if the cause of the URI is bacterial; your vet didn't do any tests, he/she guessed. Otherwise, the body needs to fight off the virus. To give the body it's best chance to fight off the virus, your husbandry needs to be up to par. Once you go over your husbandry with us, we can start making suggestions on how to move forward. Something you can do right now is keep the tank a bit warmer overnight. Aim for 75-80. And you accomplish this with a CHE. Do not use lights or colored lights. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
