Keep his temps in the upper range until it's completely gone. I would keep ambient temps at no less than 86-88F & make sure it has a hot spot of no less than 95F. Best thing to do if it dont get better is take it to the vet. You will not be able to buy the drugs needed unless you know a vet that is very sure about you. Thermo therapy works very well for RI, but if it's too advanced you will need antibiotics.

Good luck,
Chad
