I Think My Asian Water Dragon Has A Respiratory Infection. What Do I Do?

She has all the symptoms of a respiratory infection: Difficulty in breathing, lethargy, loss of appetite and gaping of the mouth. I cannot afford vet fees but my local vet who doesn't actually specialise in reptile's has told me if i ask what antibiotics she will need he will supply them. Please can you help?

The respiratory tract infection in Asian Water Dragons is treated by a group of antibiotics called aminoglycosides. The usual cause of respiratory tract infection in Asian Water Dragon is temperature fluctuation. (Cold Water). So along with the antibiotics also take care of temperature of the water.
