Flawless Creation Exotics

A few weeks ago I noticed some of my animals showed sign of bring sick. Signs of bubbles from the mouth, tilting of the head, wheezing. I recognized these signs as a Respiratory infection. At the time it was only 2 showing these signs and that same night I drove 1.5 hours to obtain antibiotics for them. After going through my collection others were also showing minor signs of R.I. Making my total 5. The newer 3 went to another vet, in which they told me they wanted to test for the Nidovirus. Those 3 were tested and yesterday I found out those results were positive for Nidovirus. There no solution to Nido. No treatment nor Vaccine to help. My only solution is to euthanize those that test positive. I'm not certain how this virus was introduced to my collection but I'm afraid that this virus has been dormant in my collection for sometime. The scariest part is that nidovirus can be asymptomatic. I encourage everyone to test for Nido and have protocols in place to avoid the same mistake I did. I'm sharing my experience because too many collections are getting quietly wiped out by the virus. Keepers not wanting to share and continue to sell. We will NOT be selling anything until further notice. I will continue to share my experience and updates. Hopefully I'm not empty handed at the end of this but the truth is I might lose everything I've worked so hard for and I'm terrified.
