We have a sick female who is foaming at the mouth. There is a little crust around her lips. It gets worse at night. Please offer any help and advice that you can! Thanks

I was told that it's likely upper respiratory and that I should treat with some Baytril....

Yes, most likely this is the case. Take her to a vet to confirm and to get the properly mixed baytril suspension.

My chams just got done the baytril for a respiratory infection. After you see a vet and get the meds take a look at your care, my problem was the substrate held too much water. Also it may loose it's appetite while on the baytril, and you may need to make bug juice. I know it's gross, but they like it. It's easier for them to swallow and you just squirt some in the back of the mouth with a syringe (without a tip) also only do this if they won't eat, it's not fun for them but was necessary for me

That is why we do not recommend substrate! There is nothing good about it, other than it looks nicer than a bare floor! Plus, it is a choking and impaction hazard.
