Hey my name is Sara and I'm new to posting on the forum although I read it all the time. My boyfriend Mario and I have a baby sulcata who is about a year old now named Koopa. We have had him for about 10 months. He is our first baby and is spoiled as all heck. He got a cold or a URI a few months back and being a protective mom I immediately took him to the vet. They gave me some antibiotic shots (That I made my boyfriend give him). This morning he woke up wheezing again and again I freaked out. I called his vet and they said if the symptoms are the same as before they would just give us a new set of antibiotics. My boyfriend is super skeptical on the whole medicine thing.
I guess my big question is how dangerous are URIs or colds? And are the antibiotics necessary or will raising his temps and recleaning his cage enough to get him better? Also is there something we could be doing to cause Koopa to get sick?
