Just got back from the vet

Turns out to be just what I though. Zeus has a respiratory infection ):
They have me giving him .9 mL of Baytril twice a day (he's only about 390 grams, due to having worms before and just getting over them not too long ago) and suggested mixing it with apple juice/sauce so it won't be as bitter and he doesn't freak out as bad. The vet was really nice. He actually talked to me and played with Zeus instead of just diagnosing him and billing me. Zeus kept running across the exam table to him and licking his nose and pen, it was cute. He asked me if he could take a picture with him to put up in the office! Oh and the friend that came with me has a sick leo, she has worms, and he gave him Panacur for him for free! I'm just praying that the Baytril helps. I hate seeing my little boy sick ):

Well I just gave Zeus his third dose of the Baytril. This morning I woke up and gave it to him. He FLIPPED OUT. Started thrashing his head around and tried to run away. Then just a few minutes ago I gave him another dose. As soon as he saw the syringe, he tried to run away and hide. I feel so bad. He hates me right now. But I rather him be mad than sick. I haven't heard the popping as much today. Maybe it's working already? I'm not sure how long it really takes.

But thank you all for the support!

I probably won't be on here much for the next few weeks. I have a Pilonidal Cyst and it's become extremely painful, so I was just put on Ultram (Tramadol) and I'm pretty groggy and sluggish. Then I have surgery next Friday. But after I start feeling better, I'll be able to update you all on Zeus. :)

Good luck on your surgery. I hope it goes well. Also glad the antibiotics are working and hope he is feeling better too.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
