Excellent info---

I do want to add that my past experience with Amikacin has not been a pleasant one.

At least 80% of the burms we get in here have an RI-- at least 2 per month--

I no longer use amikacin-- Many of the burms we get are also skinny and I've noticed that the amikacin takes a harder toll on the snake, as oppose to the other meds available.



I feel that they get dehydrated faster than with the other meds despite frequent soaks and everything else.



This is just my observations but i'd go baytril over amikacin any day and I have had much better, and stronger, faster results with bayrtil.
