runny nose

[pogonavitticeps]

Hello! Unfortunately this morning I found that there was some snot in one of Calcifers nostrils. We put his hammock higher up and monitored the temperature, thinking he had a respiratory infection. But later that day he shed that very nostril! The snot's gone now. Is it a respiratory infection, or was it something to do with shedding? He's otherwise been acting normal. Thank you, sorry if this seems a little ignorant :study:

EDIT: sorry! turns out he really does have a respiratory infection we would like some advice on this thread: https://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=224882 instead. Thank you and sorry for the confusion

Hi there.....some vets do a throat culture of some sort, but in general a broad spectrum antibiotic like Baytril is given for 10-14 days. I can't say what your vet will do. You might p.m Drache613 [ Tracie ] to see if she has more info for you. But in general an antibiotic is given, temps. should be a bit higher at night [ about 80F ] to boost the immune system. Best wishes for a full recovery !
