I'm sorry Sir, but you are a contributing factor to why MANY RI's are Baytril resistant these days."Baytril is a wide spectrum antibiotic used for many different types of treatment's in reptiles. I've used it to treat wounds, RI's and even to ward off infection from Belly Rot."
OVERUSE.
Not only overuse by the vets (as in this case) but overuse by the general public who;
1. should not be allowed to HAVE this drug in their possesion, and
2. don't have ANY medical training or experience.
The keepers who self-treat their ball pythons with Baytril for 'wounds, RI's and even to ward off infection' are completely irresponsible in my opinion.
If you care enough to rake in the cash you get from the babies they produce, then you should by responsible enough to treat them PROPERLY when they get sick.
