Hey everyone! I've made a couple of posts about our girl. First it was this about gular edema which is all gone now
https://www.chameleonforums.com/we-trouble-88386/
And then an update in which I said we suspected a respitory infection https://www.chameleonforums.com/tealcs-gular-edema-update-90637/
I have another appointment at the vets tomorrow because today she has been swallowing a lot and raising her head also shes been a bit off colour today and wasnt keen in eating. There's no extra mucus in her mouth or nose so I'm thinking LRI? I honestly don't know what could have caused it. If you look at the how to ask for help in the first thread you'll be able to see our husbandry details.
The only thing I can think of that may have been an issue is that there's been a leak in out drip basin we use to catch the water from the enclosure which caused the carpet to be damp right under where her enclosure is. See this thread for details https://www.chameleonforums.com/drainage-four-letter-word-90984/
Do you guys think that the damp carpet could have caused a respitory infection? I honestly don't know exactly how long it was damp for.
I phoned the vets office this afternoon and the vet I saw last was just glint to give us baytril. We haven't heard back from Edinburgh yet to find out if the noise the vet heard when listening to her breathing was normal.
I didn't want to get antibiotics without seeing the vet again but he's not in til Wednesday so we are going to see a new vet tomorrow who has some exotic experience but I don't know if this experience is Cham specific.
If anyone can offer advice on which antibiotics are good for which kind of infections or anything else, it would be much appreciated and well recieved.
Thanks guys!
