The temps at night are about 74 right now. Is saline more effective then baytril?

I would get your night time temps up to around 80 - its going to help his immune system - no colored bulbs for night - you want a CHE ceramic heat emitter or a heat projector -- Tracie will haft to answer the med question

Hello,

The Saline solution is very effective, but depending on the severity of infection, the Baytril would
likely be more effective for a stubborn infection.

Is there a certain type of saline solution and baytril or are they all the same im not sure what to look for

Hello,

There is a sterile saline solution that you can get at most pharmacies. Or Tractor Supply may have
Ringers saline solution that you could use & dilute slightly for nebulization. Baytril probably wont be
available in stores. If you want to try to use that, you can PM me here on the forum & I can help with
that.
The Saline solution does not have chemicals in it, nor does just a regular saline solution. It isn't an
antibiotic like the Baytril is.
How is he doing today?

Is it possible you could send me a photo or a link to the saline solution to use it seems like all the ones I see have chemicals and I would greatly appreciate, knowing exactly what to get
