Okay, so it's been a while since I posted in here about Merlin. I thought he was doing better, since I stopped giving him the Baytril. I was hoping that the 5 or so days that was on it would be enough to clear up his infection. (He had been shaking and having what appeared to be seizures so I stopped the medication). His foot was looking a little better, but now it looks worse. His toe is all shriveled and looks like it is going to fall off and his foot is big and swollen again. (I feel terrible). I still have the Baytril so I gave him a VERY little amount the past few days, hoping that it wouldn't be enough to give him the weird reaction, but now he is acting restless and pacing in his tank.
My question is, does anyone know of another medication that can clear an infection for a beardie other than Baytril? I have left inquiries with a few local vets (since it's Sunday) and I'm hopefully going to get an appointment tomorrow. (Another problem, I don't even know if any of the vets in the area (Erie pa) take reptiles.) I was considering calling the local zoo and asking where they take their reptiles?
I'm so worried about the little guy.
