you can use a standard antibiotic Baytril/amikin/droncit etc.

another avenue to consider is a nebuliser with a saline/F10 disinfectant solution used for 30 mins every day for two weeks.

that clears most things up.

its not really safe to administer medication without knowing exact weights and quantities.. also the RI could be an underlying problem.. not all RIs are simple colds and sniffles they csan indicate other more serious underlying issues...

what type of gecko is it and is there humidity in the viv etc..


where do u stay.. as im 100% sure someone on here will be able to find a vet for you..

to be honest trying to adminiter meds without genuine expereince first time to a reptile should always be done under vet supervision or you could make matters worse


good luck
