Blue Tongue skink Respiratory Infection
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2016 4:45 pm
This is my first time on this form but I am really anxious. My Blue Tongue Skink has been diagnosed yesterday by a vet with having a respiratory infection and I got the antibiotics which I have to inject every couple of day. He was given the injection the day of the vet but now he seems to be more lethargic and not making an effort to hide. Should I be worried? He looks pretty terrible and when I held him today to give him a bath(he had some problems shedding and the vet recommended it) he feels warmer than usual even though he he hasn't been in the basking area. The vet said my husbandry was good (Basking temp: Day- 105, Night- 70, Humidity 35%, 40 Gallon Breeder Enclosure) but I'm Still worried that I'm doing something wrong so if you have any thoughts please let me know.
