We had our vet appointment with Tank today. The vet was not one I've had before (they lost the appointment with our usual herp vet) and was very young. I've seen her there a few times but never worked with her. She seemed to have her basics down.

She said the lump feels hard and could well be an abcess. She wants to try antibiotics first. She prescribed Baytril, 0.15 mL by mouth, 2x daily for 14 days.

Anyone know if this is a safe dosage? His weight was 239 grams.

beutifuldragons.com has a dosage chart you can double check hope this helps. I know an abcess on a snake is usually lanced sent of for studies and medicated.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
