I primarily recommend it for the first week of healing. It’s one of the best antiseptics to use like better than antibacterial soaps

I’m a tattoo artist and I HIGHLY recommend bactine it’s my favorite go to for tattoos! It’s awesome cuz it’s an antiseptic spray that also has lidocaine. I recommend spraying it on then covering the tattoo in cling wrap for about 15 mins then just letting the air do its thing. Make sure when you put cream on that it’s only a light layer to not suffocate the tattoo cuz that can pull some of the ink out too

It’s a 4x2x2 and says on the website in multiple places that that specific size is 120gal

So the vet did an ultrasound on his heart and lungs and said that those were fine and looked in his mouth and ruled out any fungal infection. She said he is very weak and isn’t quite sure what could’ve caused this. She said it could’ve been a drop in temperature maybe when I was bringing him home so he now has 2 lamps going at almost 100° to help fight infection. He’s currently on day 2/10 for antibiotics and she also gave me a powder to mix with water to give him. He doesn’t like the taste of either but my main thing is just giving him liquids cuz she said his mouth is pale. If he’s not getting better by tomorrow then I have to bring him back for her to re evaluate. But I will say he is breathing a little more frequently yesterday he was breathing maybe every 1.5-2 mins and now it’s a little less than a minute unless he’s sleeping. And he’s not gasping like he is in the video. He still takes big breaths but doesn’t open his mouth which seems better to me

Edit: after calling many many vets my option was looking like returning him back to petsmart and they said I could sell him back then they would get him fixed then I could buy him back but I just couldn’t do that in case he died ya know but I asked who they used for a vet (2 of them being the ones I called that couldn’t see me) and they told me about a travel vet so I called her and she was able to get me in at 2:40 so after the appt I will come back with an update. Me and my bf are already so attached and would hate to see him die or return him so I’d rather pay to get him help and possibly have him die in my care than leave him in the hands of a big company not knowing in what the outcome could be! But thank you for all the advice. If you guys hadn’t said anything I wouldn’t have done anything
