My new addition Ron has had a bad URI since I brought him home on February 17th. I think he got a chill coming home from the reptile show, or caught something there. He was fine the first few days, then 4 days after getting him I heard him cough. His breathing is labored and he's still hacking. He's been on .30 mls of Baytril since Monday ( minus 1 day when my dogs stole it and I just found it today). The first couple days he ate really good. Now, he is not eating except for a hornworm here and there, and now I am running out of them. He ate his greens the first couple days, and now he won't even look at them.
I was hoping his hacking/coughing would have subsided by now? I was having him sleep on a heat pad to keep him warm at night, but I just bought him a CHE today instead.
He's making me really nervous. And I'm leaving next week for Florida. I've never dealt with a uri before. Is there something else I can do for him?
Thank you.
