I took my boa to the vet yesturday and the vet did x-ray and found that the boa has slight pnemonia in his lungs right behind his heart. He did a culture by sticking a thing down his air way to his lungs so we are waiting on the results of that. He has me giving him liquid Baytril he weighs 10lbs and I am giving him 1ml once a day for 14 days. Does this dosage sound ok? Has anyone given oral antibiotics to a boa before whats the best way to do it? Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what might help my boa? The vet also said that depending on what the culture says we might have to change his antibiotic.

Thanks!
Erin

P.S. It makes me so mad at the people I bought this Boa off of that they let him get sick like this!
