If Binx has a respiratory infection, he will likely require antibiotics. These are by prescription only and can be dispensed by your veterinarian after a physical exam. Legally, we are prohibited from recommending prescription medications in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship).
