For some of you that know, I have been dealing with R/I in one of my boas and a possible mouth infection. The first round of shots was 2.7 mg of Baytril once a day for 10 days. Her re-check didn't show any results so now I'm on round 2. 2.7 mg of Baytril once a day for 14 days. Now, I tried to feed her three times since I've been doing the shots, all refused. I can understand that since she is being pulled out of her cage everyday and getting stuck with a needle, plus her illness. But she hasn't eaten in a month and a half and is starting to get some loose skin. Should I finish the shots, wait another week and try and feed again? what are your suggestions on what I should do to encourage her feeding response? This whole situation has made me very upset, I have had nothing but problems with her since the day I received her and of course the so-called breeder will not do a thing about it.
