I've heard sub-cu and IM for Amikacin. The vet that I go to has prescribed it sub-cu every third day. I haven't checked with him to see if somehow he varies the dosage based on this delivery. He is an ARAV member and works strictly with exotics for the most part. I have had success so far with the only exception being a borneo that had some history of UR treatments before coming to me. We found that it was no longer sensitive to Amikacin, so we treated with Fortaz. That worked, but it is very expensive since there is no vet equivalent yet (human only). For those reading this, as with any medication, I recommend defering to the experts (Vets) when dealing with the dosage and recommended frequency, etc.
I do realize as does he that we are still in the infancy with herp medicine. Dave, thanks for sharing your experience with this, I will pass that along should it come up again.
