You should have seen this culture.. It was ridiculous. Just going down the line of antibiotics, it just said "Resistant.. Resistant.. Resistant..Resistant.. Resistant.. Intermediate.. Resistant.. Resistant.. Susceptible.. Resistant.. Major pain in the rear, lemme tell you. It's a gram negative non-fermenter that is usually only found in cystic fibrosis patients. It's very rare and is only spread via soil and water



This poor snake has gone through Baytril injections since 9/1, we increased the dose from 0.01ml to 0.03ml and added nebulized Amikacin to the regimen. She wasn't getting worse, but she wasn't getting better. This is a 140g Ball, 4-5 months old, I'm talking about too.. She hasn't eaten since the last week of August either.. At least she's maintaining her weight though.



Good to know about the Ticarcillin. I doubt I'll ever have a problem like this one again, but you never know. I'm only 22! Haha. If they had made the Trimethoprim in an injectable, believe me, I would have gotten it(it's discontinued). Alot of keepers have never had good luck with oral antibiotics in Ball Pythons, they just don't absorb well. Good to know that the Ciprofloxacin is absorbed ok. I'm glad my mother's a nurse and can get me samples
