Shanti, sorry to hear he got sick. I don't know a whole lot about bp's compared to some, but my first came down with a RI right after I "adopted" him, too. The vet gave me instructions on how to treat him without even using meds and it cleared up pretty quick. At least you caught it early. If I had to guess though, I'd say he was probably borderline sick at the store and the inevitable stress of moving just served as a catalyst for the infection taking hold--not your inexperience. That's what the vet figured caused "Bob's" infection too; he didn't think that it was because of my husbandry or anything I did/didn't do. Anyway, I hope he makes a speedy recovery.
