Thank you for the reply. She doesn't seem to be breathing harder than usual. Most of the time she acts ok. It's when she eats that she starts the gulping and puffing. Today was the first time she regurgitated her food but there was spittle on her lips yesterday. After she spat out her food she basked with her head propped up and would occasionally gulp or inhale hard, but I didn't hear anything. She has settled down now and her color has returned to normal, but I imagine she's hungry.AHBD":fa5seq76 said:Hi there, I'm sorry to hear of Anastasia's problems !I can see why you're concerned . Well, it's not definite that she has a R.I., there may be something else causing her symptoms. Does she breathe heavily at all or cough + puff out her beard at other times ? If you continue the Baytril [ you might want to stop since the vomiting ] you will definitely want a probiotic like Benebac or Acidophiliz+ to help settle her stomach + replace the gut flora. It may be best to have a blood panel done to see if she's having liver/kidney problems since she is so thirsty. If you p.m. Drache613 [ Tracie , one of the mods. ] she may have more insight. I hope the best outcome for your girl !
Thank you for the reply.Drache613":18koxin9 said:Hello,
I am sorry that Anastasia is having so many issues. I agree, having an x-ray would help a lot for determing whether or not she has a respiratory infection.
Since she is 9, the baytril may be a little harsh on her system if it wasn't needed.
You can increase the temperatures for overnight, to around 80 or so for boosting the immune system.
If you are going to give some Baytril, a probiotic can help a lot. You can get non dairy soy yogurt or acidophiliz for that.
Which UVB light do you use for her?
It sounds like she enjoyed the squash though, but at least she got some nutrition into her. Did her black beard start after you gave the first dose of Baytril?
Do you have a water dish in her tank with her?
