Herp meds?

peachstategeckos Nov 30, 2004 01:57 PM

Anyone know of a place online that I can order herp meds from. My female has an upper res infection and I wanted to see if i couls find a treatment for her since I live in the booneys so I don't really have a herp vet around here. If I can't find any meds then I'll take her to the vet (about 1 to 2 hrs away). Thanks!

P.S.
I do care about her alot so anyone who is thinking "why not take her to the vet in the first place?" I will i'm just trying to see if there is another way before having to travel a while.

Which meds would you even use to treat a resp infection?

The only meds I've seen for sale to the public are the dewormer / parasite remover (I think beanfarm actually has some)

Meds for URIs are perscription only..... Usually the drug to use would be Amikacin..... You need to have the exact weight of your animal to inorder to give the proper dose..... If your pet has a URI you must get it to a vet ASAP.....

All the articles I found while researching have alot more symtoms listed under URI than my gecko is showing. Thanks for the replies though. I've found exact weight/mg doses for some anibiotics. If she gets worse I will take her to the vet.
