Antibiotics

About how long after you give your chameleon antibiotics should mucus form a respiratory infection go away?

How long is the course the vet have you? The strength and length of the treatment depends on the persistence of the infection. Things should improve slowly over the course so I wouldn't expect immediate results

This can't be answered without knowing anything about your chameleon, his infection, the antibiotics given and involved bacteria. Antibiotics have different ways to fight bacteria and need different effective levels to work, therefore some need more and some less time to fight an infection. And bacteria differ in favourite tissues and conditions, ways to flee from medication... etc. A sucessfull treatment then depends on how the medication was given (orally, injected, nebulized...), whether keeping conditions or immunsuppression leading to the respiratory infection were changed and whether the infection was quite serious or already treated from the first small signs on. So... unfortunately there is no "xy weeks and everything should be fine". Every chameleon patient is an individual.

It's a graceful chameleon it's on an eight day treatment of baytril pill and they also gave it to him in a shot along with fluids. I got him with the infection I just feel really bad for him and don't want anything bad to happen to him he's just sleeping so much.
