    sick ball, urgent help!!!.
    i have a new ball in quarantine that is deep breathing and show some saliva at the mouth corners and some time on the nose. i inspected the inside of her mouth but nothing except a little saliva.
    I m in a country where keeping snakes is illegal and there is no vet, i can buy medecine on internet and give it to her myself. i already give some tape worms medecine to one of my WC ball. if she needs injection i need to know where to inject. i heard about baitryl.... Is that useful for what appear to be a kind of bacterial flu?

    any input is welcome, if someone is seeing a reptile vet soon i hope he can ask for my girl problem and get the appropriate treatment.

    thanks.

    Sounds like a respiratory infection. Baytril is a popular way of treating it. You must act fast and be careful not to cross contaminate.

    Can't the Chinese vets get the info from google or are they just at the stage of refusing to treat the animal? :(

    It does sound like an RI but it's really hard to be even remotely certain without seeing the animal in question.

    first, their is no true vet in chinese small cities, second i won t trust them since it s illegal to keep snakes and they may call the police for few yuans instead of helping. For me it is a RI but i still need the concentration to inject. i found baytril from bayer at 5%. how much should i inject every 48 hours?

    its not that simple - it depends on the weight of your snake.

    The next problem is it is illegal for me to tell you the dosage as I am not a vet.

    Ralph Davis did a youtube video that might help you.

    thank you derek,

    but it s about a my girl life so if you know the concentration , shoot me a message, i gonna inject her as soon as i receive the baytril. It seems that you know more than any vet around here so i really need that information to save her
