We have a 60lb female sulcata who has had three respiratory infections in the past two years. The first two happened during the winter/fall. While I hate that they happened I know that even in the day time when she is grazing it was cold so there was not much I could do. I believe she is currently coming down with a third one but it’s July in phoenix so she isn’t exactly getting cold.
I’m wondering what are some other causes of respiratory infections? What can I do to prevent them in the future?
Last time we went to the vet they said they can become chronic/reoccurring, is there any truth to that?
The vet previously had us give the injections under the front leg, kind of into what you might call the chest? This seems wrong to me but I don’t know enough to dispute it. I have seen some people suggest into the front legs between the spikes on her legs? It seems like it would be VERY hard to inject there.
Can she recover without antibiotics?
I recall reading here about a medicine that started with a B? Baytrill maybe? That can cause burns and is no longer recommended. What to do if that is what the vet prescribes?
Any help would be appreciated.
