URI question

msubigdawg Jul 26, 2004 07:59 PM

What is the usual treatment for a URI? I am sure Our Rainbow Boa has one as I can hear him wheez when I handle him. I have tried raising the temp with no help. I have a Vet appointment for next week, that is the soonest we can get him in.

I am certain you have already checked for stuck shed skin on the nostrils, and it sounds like you're off to a good start on raising the temps some. If your humidity is and has been adequate the vet will likely dispense baytril or gentocin/amikacin for a RI.
