This was actually very helpful, so THANK YOU. Everything you said, I had already thought about - "look at the Baytril labeling to see how many mg per ml there are, and figure out from there how many ml's are needed" for instance, but for some reason, seeing it written out the way you wrote it made it clear. I guess I just had too many numbers floating around up there earlier.Originally Posted by Reinz
You really do need a culture for the RI. For mouth rot, I don't know if Baytril is the gold standard or one of many antibiotics for mouth rot. If Baytril is not a for sure cure, get a culture.
But to answer your question look at the Baytril labeling to see how many mg per ml there are. And figure out from there how many ml's are needed since you know that you need 125 mg. Clear as mud, right?
And an Amen to what Sully told you about cc and ml being the same.
Regarding cultures, I'm sure I could get my avian vet friend to process a culture if I knew what to give - blood sample? Tissue sample? Saliva? But, I don't know if his lab also deals with reptiles, so it may yield no results. I will look into this.
And, as I said, I completely understand the judgements here, guys - I do. I'd be thinking the same thing if I were in your shoes. But, I'm not. I'm stuck with a sick snake, a stubborn owner, and no permit for the animal ... so I'm rather on my own here. I'm just trying to help. (I am also aware that "no good deed goes unpunished" ...)
