    URGENT! Respiratory infection?

    Thank you all for your input. If this ever happens again I will be sure to press for an alternative to Baytril. Unfortunately, I have to finish the course of these antibiotics in order to prevent the microevolution of the bacteria (which would be quite bad).

    URGENT! Respiratory infection?

    I don’t want you use the baytril but it’s the only thing they want to prescribe me. I also don’t want to question their authority as they’re the only vet who is actually willing to help me out in my area.

    URGENT! Respiratory infection?

    Hello! I have a four-month-old baby male Hermann. A couple of days ago, we noticed that he had bubbles coming out of one of his nostrils (this is not occurring constantly). He does not have any mucus. Occasionally, he also opens his mouth and lunges his neck forward. Furthermore, he sometimes...
