It also looked like his throat was kind of slimy/mucus. He has also been very thirsty. I researched online and it said this could be a possible upper respiratory infection and the treatment would be baytril (I just read posts about Baytril and was told Tylan would be best) . I am a single mother who recently lost her house, job, and car due to separation and am strapped for cash. I will work for treatment if I have to, I just need to get treatment for our family pet. If anyone has any recommendations for a reasonable price, as I have priced many and the bill would be at least $70. Or, if you know where I can get this prescription without being seen. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!

I will have to check the temps under the basking area and find something to check that with. Also, the humidity says 40%, how can I regulate that? I have a Zoo Med strip for the temp and a Zoo Med humidity dial as well. What is a digital probe? Is that something that sticks to the glass as well but is digital? I am going to fine something today to check the temp or go at buy one, they can't be too expensive. I have both heat lamps on this morning and he is sitting on the bottom enjoying that. I sure hope it clears up before it gets worse.
I am so glad I found this site. You all have been very helpful!!!
Sincerely,
Tonya and Sammy
