100 plus pound 15 ft Burm has a possible respiratory infection. Due to her size and temperament, I don’t think I can physically get pills into her. What are the ideal husbandry parameters to help her environmentally… temperature, humidity? I’m considering injectable antibiotics, but I’m concerned about causing more problems than I fix. Is there any clever way of getting medicine into her short of hog-tying her and cramming them down her throat?

need injectables
burm skin will bend needles
do NOT stop injections before finished...you need to clear up btoh lungs...people give shots then stop when they THINK the ri has cleared up...and it lays in the second lung....and comes back...
