    Carmen post-shots, post-shed, funky skin?

    So, Carmen had 10 days of Baytril shots earlier this month for early RI (June 29-July 8), which she still seems to have beaten just fine and she shed for the first time since her shots this past Friday.

    Her shed was only a partial, so gave her a little soak and rest came off no problem (note: Carmen does *not* like swimming =P)...anywho...

    I noticed that she seems to have little scars (I'm guessing they are scars) at some of the locations I administered shots (as directed by my vet, middle third of her body, slightly away from the spine, just under the skin, don't hit a blood vein, administer in different locations).

    I called to ask my vet but she's out today, so I thought I'd ask you guys; I'm guessing whatever these dry, slightly depressed patches of skin are dead, scar-like tissue from the injections or perhaps from the Baytril itself and that they'll most likely come off in a few sheds.

    And while I don't have pictures of these little dry patches*, does it sound like something familiar for those who've administered shots or even specifically Baytril to snakes before?

    *I can try to get some if y'all think, but it'll probably be difficult with "Miss Wiggle Worm".
