We usually give the injection 10mg/kg every 48 hours for 10 days, however depending on how bad the infection is we use the 4 quadrant therapy that Klingenberg termed in 1996. We use baytril and metronidazole on alternating days. This covers aerobes,anaerobes,gram-pos and gram-neg. We also give fluids 20ml/kg per day. and we make sure that the temperature is 86 degrees to metabolize the antibiotics properly. We have come up with this treatment from a combination of diffrent sources some older and some newer. We also may use diffrent antibiotics depending on the type of problem and availability and the size of the tortoise. We are in no way giving anyone medical advice this is just what we do. Thank you for your input we appreciate all your insight on the forum...
