No, it's because I have a GOOD vet! It's not difficult to figure out that if a drug is strong and normally burns tissues, that diluting it with saline will help stop the burning and tissue destruction.

Also, my het Pied was on antibiotics for over a month because that is what is usually prescribed. Talk to a few good reptile vets and they'll tell you. People rarely give antibiotics for a long enough period. Reptiles have such slow metabolisms that it takes longer for the antibiotics to go through their system, and they need to take them for a longer period so the infection fully clears up(not just goes away).

I take my horse to a vet who is ALSO a pharmacist.. Wonder how long he was in school? And he's useless, right? My herp vet is the ONLY vet I will take my rats and snakes too, as she is competent, and if she doesn't know something, she will go look it up. I take great pride knowing my animals are in good hands, and I have someone knowledgeable to fall back on if I have questions or concerns. I guess you don't want that for your 100s of Balls, correct?
