Hi again....yes, she looks like she has anR.I. Her open mouth breathing and being puffy + bloated are both classic symptoms. I mentioned the Baytril in my other post, if you can't or don't want to take her to a vet that you don't have faith in for diagnosis you can buy liquid generic Baytril from beardeddragon.co.

I guess it would be your call....I'm not sure if there would be any negative effect if you started one med. and then switched to another. Tylan is used for reptiles with a R.I., so if you have to decide if you trust your friend enough to give you the proper dosage, and then decide if you think it's O.K. to switch. Esther mentioned sending a p.m. to Drache613, so with your question about the 2 drugs it would be good to ask her....or just go with the Tylan if this guy is experienced with it's use. Try not to worry too much, if she's been healthy all her life she should get through this just fine. Be sure to keep her temps. around 80 at night , and get a probiotic like Benebac, Acidophiliz+ or soy yogurt to build up her good gut flora.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
