Thank for that, James. He's currently about 3 Kg and 1.5m long, so it shouldn't be too hard. He's not so small as to be fragile, and not so big it will take 6 of us to hold him...

He was wheezing and gaping this morning, after 3 weeks of not showing symptoms, so it's definitely time to get real help. I've spent the morning making a digest of Baytril in Reptiles info for my vet who usually sees cats and dogs and very little else.

Well, I sucessfully gave my first Baytril injection yesterday at the vet's office, surrounded by a fascinated vet and 3 technicians, none of whom had even touched a snake before. (We are taking some of the healthy ones in on Saturday to run a handling session for them).

So now it's just fingers crossed, I'm giving injections every 2 days for the next 4 weeks.

Well, it's a gamble as we don't have a veterinary lab here to run swabs to ID the infectious agent (heck, they don't do that for people here half the time), so we don't actually know its bacterial, nor which bacteria it might be, but at this point anything is better than nothing, which is what I had before.

I'll try and post some photos once we do our handling training .

Well, not too great. No audible wheezing but he's still lethargic and not feeding. I'll post more details in the other (Veterinary) thread once I've got news one way or the other.http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=640431

Thanks for asking!
