Sounds like you're doing great. Keep up what you're doing and watch for any change for the worse. Patients is the thing now.

: Hello, I bought a baby salcata a month and a half ago and when I got him home I noticed he had a respiratory infection. I took him to the vet the next day and he game me antibiotic injections for him. Well this didn't work and I brought him back for another check up and he was given more antibiotic injections. Well this seemed to help him this time. I didn't notice any more bubbles coming from his nose. He had another check up so the vet could check him over again. Well the vet noticed a little wetness in the nose and said that he looks like he is on the road to recovery. Well he is still not better and I'm afraid that I may be doing something wrong.

: His cage is 100 degrees on the warm side and 80 degrees on his cool side.
: His substrate is repti-bark.
: I have a zoo med repti sun 500 bulb for lighting.
: He has a shallow dish for him to soak in.
: He is eating fine on dandelions, clovers, grasses, watercress, and a variety of flowers.
: I'm giving him vitamins on his food each day. And also giving him vitamin A eye drops once each day.

: Sorry for the long post but can anyone tell me if I’m doing something wrong. I feel so bad for the little guy. I couldn't imagine being sick for over a month. Should I take him back for more antibiotics? Or is there anything else I should be doing that I’m not? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
: Thanks
: -Gary
