my leopard gecko has respiratory infection

Question
QUESTION: I bearly found out my leopard gecko has respiratory infection what can I do for her

ANSWER: Hello Carlos,
How did you find out your gecko has a respiratory infection, did you take her to the vet?
You need to make sure that her temps are optimal for her both during the day & night.  
What are your temps?  What do you measure them with?
Do you have an undertank heater as well as a low wattage basking light to get a hot spot of around 88-90 on one end?  Then, have a cooler end around 78-80 or so.  
Make sure the humidity is below 40% right now.  Though a humid hide is still necessary to help with shed.
Is she eating?
Is she on medication?

QUESTION: I found out by asking peole she had the symptoms like making bubbling sounds and sqeaky sounds I do have day and night heating I dont know the temp I should get a thermonmeter soon I do have a heat mat and a 40watt bulb I dont know her cold side temp she is eating and shes not on medications

ANSWER: Hello Carlos,

That is correct, it does sound like a respiratory infection.  You will need to get a digital probe or a temp gun to make sure the temps are spot on.  That is most likely what part of the problem is perhaps is improper temps right now.
There is a product called Tylan that is helpful for respiratory infections but does not have the harsh side effects that Baytril has.  Try this first, to see if it helps her out.
Here is the site to order it from.

QUESTION: do you think this would work and how do I feed it to her

Answer
Hello Carlos,

Yes it is quite effective.  I have not personally used it, but have friends who have used it with alot of success.
I think it is worth a try.
It is powder, so you can just either sprinkle it on the greens or veggies, or mix it with water & use a plastic dropper & drip it on the end of the nose to get him to drink that way.
