it is not possible to determine the mg/kg dose without knowing the antibiotic concentration of the injected solution in mg/ml. However, from your cage data, I would say that your temps were considerably too low for womas under antibiotic therapy. This may have significantly inhibited the effectiveness of the antibiotics used, and additionally limited the immune system of these snakes to also deal effectively with the infection. I would suggest holding the 24/7 temps at 90 to 92 for a couple of weeks with a small cool area at no less than 86 to 88. Accurate temp monitoring equipment should obviously be used as well. Humidity should probably be in the 50% to 60% range for this species under treatment. You might try this for a couple of weeks without antibiotic therapy as there is a possibility that they could recover without it with this temp regime.
