Good luck with the injections, I wouldn't fancy that myself. I was in tears giving Hettie oral antibiotics when she was poorly.

Let us know how she gets on?

sry to hear this :/
I'm sure you know, but give her as much heat as possible, my vet had recommended 34C during the day and 23C at night, this way anti-biotics work better. Progress is painfully slow, I was seeing a little progress every other week...my wife was phoning up the vet every day asking him how come she was not better until he told her that it takes weeks to see improvements.

The intravenous injections should work more quickly and more effectively than antibiotics given orally. I think you were wise to bring her to the vet . You may have nipped the infection in the bud. Hopefully she picks up soon and you notice an improvement in the next couple of weeks. Take care.
Kind Regards

Seems incredible that the vet didn't use a stethoscope to check her breathing. Was he/she a specialist reptile vet?
I wonder if your torts whistling/respiratory problem could be related to the building work and dust in your house?
Kind Regards

I guess the advice is when in doubt ...consult a vet. Because we all have very different experiences. You need to take on advice and choose for your own situation. And dependant on the outcome everyone learns x x x hugs xxx
I agree. No harm in getting a second opinion from a specialist reptile vet.
Best of luck.
