this reminds me of a thread on the motorcycle forums i frequent. There was a guy on there that was a ex bike thief, and offered his knowledge to answer any questions other might have in regards to how to best protect your bike from being stolen. Of course most of the people on the board jumped all over him calling him all types of names and what not. I mean the guy regrets his past and is trying to help, none the less, people were still bashing him instead of just getting his help. I know i just asked away...

Now for those people bashing, ever seen the movie 28 days later? In the beginning those animal activist that released those monkeys with the rage virus even though the scientist TOLD them that they were infected, they still let them go because it was the "right" thing to do. THATS YOU

My point is, OK the guy should DEF take his BP to a vet, i know i would, i have been with Vic for 5 years, and i have spent tons of money on him and his ritz hotel of a enclosure with all the gadgets and decor to have a perfect husbandry, and yes, i would take him to the vet no matter what if need be. But he already said he will not be taking his BP to the vet, so instead of bashing him, either give him advice or keep it moving. If you dont know how administer the shot or the dosage, then just move on the the next post!

What a load.

We are helping!!! We are telling the OP that they need to take the snake to a vet. Baytril may not be the correct medicine. Just because it works sometimes doesn't mean it will always work. a Culture IS REQUIRED before medicine be given. It's not an option. If the OP manages to figure out the "correct" dose of Baytril and gives it to his snake "correctly" then all he has done was guess. Yes, it may be fine and heal perfectly. It also may not heal, it may get worse - and DIE. Another option is that the OP gives the snakes Baytril incorrectly (since they have no culture) creating a snake that has resistance to the bacteria. Then, as time goes on the snake gets another RI and now it cannot be treated using Baytril because the OPs snake is resistant.... guess what, it DIES!

So don't come on here and make up ^%#^# like that. What is going on by the OP is abusive and disgusting. If you cannot pay to take the living animal to see the doctor, then give it away for free to someone else who can take care of it. No pet deserves to be self medicated. Absolutely 110% WRONG!!!
