I posted previously about my newly adopted beardie having a stubborn URI. He was on antibiotics for 4 weeks but didn't seem to improve much. In the last week or so I've been nebulising with F10 and I think that's made a vast improvement. But I am also worried it's just because he is desperately trying to go down and the lack of activity means he just doesn't need to use his lungs as much.
I've been trying to keep him up, I pop him on his basking spot, handle him, twice daily nebulising etc but the last couple of days he is just not in the mood for my nonsense. Taking every opportunity to go into his favourite dark spots to sleep and I'm just not sure what to do. There's lingering infection and if he goes down that's incredibly risky right? But nothing I am doing is keeping him up. Including having his temps a little higher during the day and overnight heat from a DHP to keep temps up.
As new beardie mum I am finding this a bit stressful, I just want the best for him. Should I just make sure he does one last poop and let him do his thing as keeping him up is obviously stressing him?
