popping,clicking?

I have 10 injections of Baytril. If someone can let me know if this is what you need, I'll be happy to ship it you.

ok know iam having a problem even finding a snake vet in colorado

My 1 year old BP had RI and we gave him Baytril. We gave him .5 cc for 10 days. He got better quick.

We kept him real warm and put a small water bowl on the warm end of the cage to help with humidity.

how do you give him the anti-bios is it a injection

It's an injection, as I understand it, thatyou give to them in the middle of the back. As I said I never got the chance to give it to my snake, but I'm sure someone on here could give you advice on how to administer it.

You will want to get him to a vet. The vet will check him out, get his weight and probably do a culture. By doing that he will be able to figure out what antibiotic is best to use and how much by his weight he will need to fight the RI. RI's will no go away on their own, but for the time being you can let him soak in a tub of warm water for about 30 minutes. This will help loosen up the mucus that is in his lungs. Also bump your hot side to 95. Also the med's are given by an injection. Your vet will be able to show you just how to do this. It's not hard to do so once his/she shows you the correct way to administer it without hurting him. GOOD LUCK & keep us posted on how he does!

someone please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gave the injection behind the vent. Go in at a slant, not straight in. You can buy this med at your local vet, it's very inexpensive.

Edit to add- today I bought 7 injections for $17.50. They were a larger dose than I said above.

Keep in mind that most antibiotics don't last long...they expire quickly. I have no specific knowledge on Baytril but you might look and see when it expires before you attempt what it sounds like you thinking about.


Also...I see big concerns here. While I can understand your financial problems I am not sure blindly giving your animal meds is the best course here. (via a shot that you have never done or been shown how to do) Adam didn't say it WAS a URI he said is sounds like it is, so we are guessing based on 1 symptom.

I strongly recommend you try the vet approach first. (any vet can do the culture to verify what it is even if they don't normally treat snakes)

My package says

"Baytril injection .8 mg (doesn't give the exp date), Give 1 injection one daily for 10 days, back 1/2 of body near spine in muscle"

Anyway it was given to me on 3/13.
