1. do you usually have to give your bp water before you give it baytril?
she has me giving him water by a tube that goes in his mouth and then you inject the water.
She has you using water because you are giving the Baytril orally. Baytril is meant to be given intramuscular meaning injected into the muscle tissue.
Some vets give it orally as to cause less stress to the snake. Baytril injections can cause scale burns and discomfort as it tends to burn the injection site. These are of a 30lb Burm after Baytril injections. 2 days after..

So, what you are doing with the water is fine. It's only to dilute the taste and solution.
I also want to add that the scales were fine after the next shed. The burn is only temporary.
