Hello,
My adult male Beardie, has a possible upper respiratory infection (He has; labored breathing, holding mouth agape, excessive production of saliva, sleeping vertical, hissing/huffing sounds accompany his labored breathing, coughs occasionally, he's got some crusty stuff on the inside of his mouth.) I think it was caused by too high humidity and too low basking temps. He loves to swim and sometimes breaths some water into his lungs, which he then coughs. I have raised his baking temps which should help a lot.
I am taking him to the vet tomorrow and I would like to know what the BEST MEDICATION or TREATMENT is before we go there so I trust that the vet is giving him the right meds. I have read that BAYTRIL is what is commonly prescribed. Is that the best treatment? Or what is the best treatment?
Thanks so much for any feedback!
