Hi guys! We are dealing with our second upper respiratory infection in two months. The first was a result of being stressed from an excursion he went on and was missing for two days. (He was accidentally forgotten about outside by my mother-in-law when a medical emergency occurred with her husband.) He went a 2 week course of every other day Baytril, and within 24 hours was feeling better and has been great since.
Last weekend we upgraded his indoor enclosure to a much larger enclosure since winter is coming and he's going to be spending his time inside. New bulbs, new CHE, new hide with more humidity, change in substrate from peat moss and coconut coir mix to cypress mulch in the main area, with peat moss in his hide, etc. Today I noticed some labored breathing, lack of appetite and lethargy. After speaking to the doctor I work for, we started him back on Baytril and am hoping to see improvement tomorrow. She thinks maybe the stress of moving him caused another upper respiratory infection.
Any other thoughts?
