Sick red tail
it seems like a really bad RI....Try this put gatorade in the water the electrolytes will help stimulate an appetite...after that remove water so that it dosent push the infection further down. raise ambient temp by about 5 degrees.if the vets say its a lung infection then it means the RI has done moved pretty far down..if not takin care of may cause mouth rot... try that then may work may not..
