Dont use someone else's meds, your snake may need something stronger/weaker take it to a vet, its not expensive, think about how much you payed for the animal plus all the equipment/feedings..

This thread makes me uncomfortable. Lots of incorrect info and dangerous advice. The important thing is that your snake is very sick and without treatment will likely die. You NEED to get it to a vet ASAP for the proper diagnosis and treatment. If you can afford a Cinnamon, then you should be able to afford a vet. Owning animals is about responsibility and preparedness. Good luck.

Yeah maybe this isn't the best idea... You don't have any free credit you can use for a vet visit?

Also I must chime in!!!

Amy, that was very nice of you but those Baytril injections expire pretty quick. Also what worked for your snake may not work for his. Also your snake may be or may not be of a heavier weight that his snake is so those injections may be to much med or not enough med and in the end could wind up making his snake worse off then he is in the long run.

I do NOT recommend just taking them and using them. You aren't sure how to give an injection, and that could lead to some problems. I'm NO vet by any means but I do HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you taking him in to a qualified vet and get him checked out. If you are tight on money, call and ask them how much a vet visit is and ask them if they have a payment plan. Also you may want to think in to getting a credit card and hiding it away just for emergencies like this. I know my hidden pet CC card has come in handy when I'm broke and my pet needs to go to the vet.

Remember it will vary the amount by weight.

See above post people, I agreed.

Call your local vet and tell him whats going on. He may have some idea about snakes even tho he is not a herp vet. My non herp vet is awesome!!!

He told me today that Baytril is a very safe and good antibiotic. My herp vet called me and he said the same thing about baytril.
