okay so im not quite sure how to feel about what this new vet did but im going to be optimistic about it, and hope she does get better. (I chose to take her to a different exotic vet across town instead of the one we werent getting anywhere with)
the vet was very nice and respectful, i told her i wanted a culture to check and see exactly what it is before throwing her on antibiotics.
to make it short, suki is now on antibiotics, no culture was taken. the vet explained a culture would be like $100+, and that since her nostril did not have any discharge at the office, she didnt want to waste my money. which is ok and i understand but a part of me is worried still, i have NOT heard good things about beardies and antibiotics.
treatment:
one dose of the antibiotics we were given once a day, for three weeks. vet told me she should improve within 7-10 days and if she doesnt then she insists on bringing her in when she does have stuff oozing out her nostril, so she can be confident shes not sending air for tests.
suki was very angry at the assistant who demonstrated how to give her these oral meds, i just had to laugh.
please let me know below if youve ever experienced health issues or have had your bearded dragons on antibiotics before, is there anything i can do to help her get through this???
