Baytril

[Penny'sMommy]

Anyone know correct dosages of Baytril for leopard gecko?

I don't really trust my vet anymore (long, long story).

Where did the Baytril come from, and what was the dose the vet gave you?

Find a new vet

 

[Penny'sMommy]

I'm searching for a new vet, but no luck really...

The vets dose was: 3/10 cc every 12 hours for 10 days.

If you dont trust him then there may be good reason to not trust his medication advice periode. Why did he reccomend this product, and whats wrong with the leo. Baytril is a antibiotic, ive used it with cats, goats, cows and rabbits. How old is the leo, i know baytril isnt to be used with animals that are young or in developing/growing prime.
Treatment should be anywhere from 5-15 days depending on the severity of the problem.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

What reason did your vet prescribe Baytril? Since Baytril is a broad-spectum antibiotic, was there a confirmed bacterial infection?

I will not tell you doses, but using baytril in excess can kill the natural flora and cause big issues....SO go to a new vet and do not treat your animals against the prescription provided by a DVM.

She (leopard gecko) had a cyst removed. I really need to know the
correct dosage so I can get her on it so the cysts do not come back!

Please help. I'm soon going to give up and just do the Baytril how they
said. Oh and she is a 5 year old leopard gecko, 30 grams and 6 1/2 inches
long (lost tail).

So we are talking a Microbial cyst? Honestly, i cant give you doses with a good conscious.

SO go to a new vet and do not treat your animals against the prescription provided by a DVM.

This, is the best advice so far.

If they told you how to do it, why do you need help? Just do what they said. Assuming "they" is the vet...

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

If the vet diagnosed microbial cysts and prescribed Baytril, then they should have given you the correct dosage along with the medication. Please tell us what the suspension (concentration) is as well as the dose prescribed. Since WE are not veterinarians, giving you information of this type could very well contribute to harming your gecko.

 

[Penny'sMommy]

There is no new vet, okay?!?!???!

I've searched everywhere, please just help me with Hershey. If I can't
get the dose i'm afraid the cyst may come back and I don't want to cause
her anymore unnecessary pain.

 

[Dimidiata]

At this point id go with what the vet said.

 

[Penny'sMommy]

Ok, I'll do the vets dose... Thanks for ya'll help!
