Re: I know we all hate this, but.. HELP
She is doing very well. No longer making any sounds when she breathes. She is very active and I fed her Friday. Got some cute pics of her which I will post when I get a chance. She's also drinking very well. I'm going to take her to the vet I found once she's around 30 days post treatment to confirm she is symptom free.

I also concur with the month-long treatment. I usually do once per day shots rather than every other day. If she's doing well on the 5mg/kg, keep going with that, but once per day. You need to maintain the blood levels and every other day cannot do that.
If you want to prevent burning/scarring at the injection sites, add a small amount of saline to the baytril each time you draw it up. I do a 50/50 mix. So if you do 0.3ml(I'm used to the 100mg/ml solution, so dosages are around 0.01-0.1 ml per snake), you'll want 0.3ml of saline. This will reduce the caustic effects and will help the snake at least keep a bit hydrated. Rub the meds into the muscle tissue firmly so it distributes evenly and absorbs.
I know if I had seen that the dose needs to be 0.4ml, I would have given my snake a seizure. I use the 100mg/ml cattle strength because well, it's cheaper, and 0.4ml is for a very large snake, LOL.
