F10 in a fogger, advice

[predatorkeeper87]

Hey all,

So as my other thread dictated, the small pastel I rescued is dealing with a major eye/jaw infection, (yes I know I haven't posted pics in my other thread....life in the way and all...) and she just now finished her course of antibiotics from the first vet visit. While it appears to have drastically helped one eye, the other is still very infected as well as the jaw still being swollen.

I had multiple vet visits scheduled, but due to the weather and just generally great luck every exotics vet in the area had to cancel due to being sick (I wish I was kidding, 4 vets all have bronchitis or something similar and are off) so I have to wait until Monday in order to get my second opinion and hopefully this time a culture of the snake's mouth to more accurately attack this rather than throwing baytril at it like the last vet did.

Now, my question-I want to apply a mild F10 application through a fogger to see if maybe it MIGHT help reduce of the bacterial load on the snake. I need to know the ratio of diluted solution I can safely apply in this case. I've only ever mixed F10 in a 1 litre bottle for disinfecting, never for illness treatment, so I'd like to not poison my snake accidently. Thanks to anyone in advance for advice.

1:250 is what most use.. Then there are some using more but Im not the extremest .. I heard Brian used 3:1000. But thats hearsay.

ok so basically just the splits used for the mixing if you were cleaning with it. hmmm...alright I was going to do that but with this being an application that the snake is exposed to I wanted to double check. I've read that about Brian too but he knows way more about snakes than I'll probably ever hope to learn haha. I'll play it by ear...and start with a 1:500 or so...if she shows some type of improvement then I'll up the dosage a bit...this is just to try and alleviate some of her problems...poor thing breaks my heart every time I check on her.

Sounds like a good plan. I use 1:250 for cleaning and I mist everything after, let it dry and leave it. I love the stuff. Im a nut and go through a spray bottle every 2 weeks.. But I dont spot clean so thats why i go through It.. As soon as they make a mess Out they come and top to bottom cleaning hahahaha

oh the stuff is amazing that is very true. I am the same way haha, the minute theres a mess everything out and cleaned haha. The stuff works wonders on the tubs in my rat colony too, truly a wonder product.
