Baytril & High Humidity?

hurricaneexotics Jan 20, 2014 05:17 PM

Just had a VET Visit today for an adult Ball that sprung a RI. Its only been 5 days in.... I raised the temps and removed the water bowl and dry newspaper as a substrate for the past 3 days since I heard the wheezing. It seemed to make it worse. I have used that method in the past to wipe out RI's... But this is the first time I have heard a VET say to use HIGH HUMIDITY and of course she gave me Baytril to inject him every other day.

Seems Right?

Thanks!

I have used Baytril with high humidity and low didnt seem to make a difference in healing...Baytril only works sometimes but not all the time

All seemed to work out well with Raising the humidity and doing 3 series of shots. Little guy bounced back quick. Just sucked that the Cold Front affected the rack that was closest to the window. Thanks for the advice! The cultures that were taken from the snake by the Vet said that they were responding to the Baytril very well, in killing the microorganisms, in this case I was confident in the Antibiotics.
