RI - antibiotics and success rates

[SatanicIntention]

Baytril doesn't cause scarring IF you do it properly, IE diluting with saline prior to injection. Baytril BURNS like nobody's business if given regular strength anyway, so diluting it with saline serves two purposes...

Matt, you must have an issue with taking your animals to the vet.. As well as everyone elses'.. Veterinarians are there for a reason, and even if you're not going to use them, don't suggest that other people don't. What if someone's snake has a respiratory infection, and you tell them to go to the feed store, get some Tylan and needles/syringes, and give so-and-so amount over this many days, but their snake doesn't respond. But wait, you told them it would work and not to go to the vet, right? However long goes by and their snake is drowning in its own fluids from advanced pneumonia, while the poor owner is left twiddling their thumbs waiting on meds that won't work...

Doesn't sound like good, solid advice to me..

Edit: I have a Het Pied male who came to me with a respiratory infection from shipping stress, he was on IM baytril for over a month and never scarred up. His skin is as perfect as the day he hatched. Don't tell me that it causes scars, because it doesn't. I'm even using the biggest strength of Baytril and still didn't get scars.
