Respiratory infection :(

Well, darn. Here I thought I'd never have one in my collection and guess what?

My adult male sonoran has RI. Since RI's are secondary infections, that means he has a bacterial infection somewhere and I didn't see symptoms until I attempted to cool him, and bam! Now he has RI.

I just noticed it this morning, he was wheezing, and there is a swollenish part under his throat (not too swollen). I immediately turned his temps up-warm side is at 95 right now.

Then this afternoon, he was bubbling out the tip of his mouth. No runny or stringy saliva yet.

I'm taking him to a vet tomorrow, but I've heard bad things about the two antibiotics I know she will prescribe-Amikacin and Baytril. Can anyone suggest a good antibiotic that they have had experience with?

thanks,
Cat
