Thanks for your reply,
He is kept in a 4x2x2 enclosure with the temp being around 75-85 at the warm and cool ends, with a slightly higher basking area at the warm end that I added when I realized he was sick.
The first vet gave him Baytril, I've heard that many don't have much luck with this drug, and I definitely didn't...She put him on too little a dose for his size, with too much time in between doses for how sick he was at the time, at least thats what my current vet had said. She kept me at this for over 8 months, while I wondered why it didn't seem to be doing anything. I remember reading that a RI usually doesn't take that long to clear up with proper medications, so thats when I decided to find a new vet.
As far as giving you the specifics on what the other vet treated him with, I'll have to find all my vet records for him, everythings been shuffled around since we moved and had the house remodeled. I'm sick as a dog myself right now, but once I feel up to it I'll hunt them down.
I do know the one drug that seemed to help at first was called Gentocin, seemed to ease his breathing troubles slightly the first couple of days, but after that he didn't show anymore response.
My vet said it seems he just doesn't respond to treatments at all.
