Well........Anyone? and if so, ever used on snakes?

Thanks in advance for any info.

I've used it in the past with limited success. There are lots of posts regarding this on the "boa" forum, one of which I just posted not all that long ago. Kelly Haller who frequents that forum is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about this and countless other antibiotics, as well as many other reptile drugs, even though it pertains far more to boids.

Here's what he told me about LA200 (oxytetracycline)

Awesome, Doug...exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks for the speedy response.

Stay safe buddy.

This is actually pretty funny, back when i worked at Ross Allens, 1970-71 aprox. We tested and used that combination of antibiotics.

I will warn you, overdosing can and does skin discoloration and when extreme overdose, skin death.

That combination was later replaced by baytril/amakasin(sp) Which is hard on the kidneys. The animals must be hydrated.

I have no idea what was recently popular, because of the ability to prevent gram-negative events. Don't stress them physically and gram negatives are history. Cheers

Good info, Frank. Thanks for the reply.
