Last month he had the beginnings of a respitory infection. He got 3 shots of Amiglyde .05. He seemed to do okay for awhile and then he started gaping again. He saw the vet again and we got another 3 shots of Amiglyde .05. He seemed to be fine and then he started gaping again. He has a little click now and again, but no mucous either time. I'm at a lose at what to do now. He was a 120 Sb mercury vapor bulb and a regular household bulb. Temps around 105-110. He's been getting baths every other day, he eats crickets, hornworms, butters, and super worms on the rare occasion. He's been eating more squash lately, butternut and whatever kinds he can eat, collards, and safe fruits. Calcium and vitamin supplements, gets outside a ton.
I took him to the vet and he said everything sounds ok. No fluid in the lungs, he seemed good. He still has been gaping, so the vet gave him an injection of Baytril .25 in the back. His beard has been jet black since we got home 5 hours ago. It gets a little less black, but it's still black I'm worried. He's supposed to go back to the vet to get another shot, but not if it seems to hurt him, but he's still gaping what should I do. I'm at a lose at this point.
