Re: RI - antibiotics and success rates
Like I said in the first place; vet, culture, proper antibiotics, snake is treated and healthy. None of this piddling around hooey, giving shots of swine antibiotics(for mYcoplasmosis), and hoping they work, when all you're causing is resistance to antibiotics as that bacteria gets stronger and stronger.
If you read up on Amikacin, it's VERY hard on the kidneys when injected. Nebulized, it's not as bad. I'd rather use something else that worked and was gentler on their system.
And Matt, please get your info straight on Mycoplasma bacteria, it's a gram positive bacteria that is easily killed by fluoroquinolones, such as Baytril, which is why Baytril is preferred when an animal has Myco(such as in rats). Baytril breaks down the cell wall and thus, the bacterium dies. Tylan doesn't work with gram POSITIVE bacteria, such as Clostridium sp. It does work for Strep-based bacteria, but that's about as far as its efficacy goes.
