Baytril injections

[docturgonzo]

After doing a bit of a search on the Net it appears that the prefered area for baytril is the main body of the blood python directly into the muscle on one side for faster absorption.2nd 1/3rd

I have a blood on a course now and the Vet recommends i inject it straight into the tail. Obviously i will take the vets advice and inject as shown but was just wondering if there is a reason she told me to inject the tail and not the top third.Or is it just a matter of preference and a way to avoid getting tagged

She did inject some vitamins in his top main body about the 2nd 1/3

Its one of those 'why didnt i ask when i was there ' type questions

Just curious so any body who has any input jump in

NEVER in the tail NEVER!!!!!!!

Inject in the snake upper 1/3 of the body in what you would think is their "shoulder" area

Inject it at a 45 degree angle or so on either side of the spine in the little strap of muscle. Inject every other day and alternate sides between each dose.

Start from the back and go under a scale and push the needle in TOWARDS the front of the snake and inject.

Sounds like you need a new vet man.

thats what confused me because nowere on the net says the tail.
I ahve seen some good tutorials about and tehres a great one on rcrepltiles site which says first 1/3

Took me ages to find a vet that specializes in exotics too and there were a few things that were said that i was uncomfortable with

Its injection day on Thursday again and i was told every 3 days.

Ill stick to the days they said but change my area then

Thanks

Do what they say I guess.

But Baytril is every other day or even every day in animals with some nasty infections.

Aminoglycosides like Amikacin are every 3 days as well as the popular Cephalosporin "Ceftazidime".

Where do you live?
