They prescribed Baytril Syrup she said because it will help with the eye infection and she may have something systemic going on and it will help with thatloljelloclowdz":jszemvwk said:Wait, what antibiotic did they give? If there’s no proof of an upper respiratory infection then it might not be necessary to have them on that antibiotic. I’d still use the ****ers appetite stimulant as it’s good to keep them eating properly, but I’d consider seeing another vet if they are giving out antibiotics without proof of an infection.

BTW, raw unpasteurized honey mixed with about 4 parts lukewarm water can help an eye infection quickly. I used it on my own dragon's infected eye + cured it in a few days.

AHBD":iseg964z said:Yeah, poor girl looks very ill. What type of uvb bulb do you have ? If that's a Zilla check to see if the plastic shield is covering the uvb, if it is take it off. Can you get her another basking log, that branch is a bit skimpy ,especially for a dragon that's not feeling well and not going to be comfortable on that. Get a thicker + flatter surface, avoid hammock though since she has long nails that will get snagged. As for the honey, just a big drop mixed with a few drops of water that equals about 4 X as much. Use a syringe or just a Q-tip do dab it in her eyes. Be sure there are no insects in the enclosure. Offer her some water mixed with the Repta boost and drip it very slowly on her snout to [ hopefully ] get her to drink. She looks pretty dehydrated.
Drache613":3c4j621s said:Hello,
Which eye drops are you using right now, or are you just giving the baytril for an infection?
The Reptisun 10 T5 tube is a great bulb, so that's great you did get that ordered now. The
Zilla isn't very good & it wont give near enough UVB for your dragon.
As suggested, try using the honey with the warm water. It is highly effective since it's a
antimicrobial agent.
What foods are you trying to give to her? You can try using the repta boost, a lot of the
dragons do like it. You can also get some chicken or turkey baby food, mixed with either
squash or sweet potato baby food to give to her using a plastic dropper or syringe. Just
drop some food onto her snout to see if she will lick any of the food off.
Be sure to keep her a little warmer overnight, around 75-80 to help boost her system.

Hi when I was giving her the repa boost the following day her stool was like diarrhea and smelled very fowl. I discontinued using it and used the carnivore care , she hasnt had a bowel movement yet. What should I expect when she does? Also was the bowel movement from the repa normal?KarrieRee":88qum5yq said:The carnivore care is very good stuff --- you might want to get some herbivore as well and mix them -I would make it kinda soupy so shes getting water as well and its thick anyway - how are you feeding? the proper UVB placed is going to help w/ everything - once you get it placed and proper distance you should see a difference very quickly --
