: If you are really concerned about flagyl, why not use baytril or Amikacin? Amikacin is a little bit more tedious to administer but in my opinion works better than flagyl in many cases. Baytril is just awesome. I know it has been known to cause some scarring in dogs and cats if given SQ but I have never heard of any instances of this in snakes.
Folks,
The first time I heard of the issue of sensitivity in Drymarchon and flagyll was 11 years ago. To date I have used it ONCE on a Drymarchon. I would have to agree with Jeremy, why bother researching it and trying to find out if it is or isnt toxic at lower dosages? Pick another drug to do the same thing, Baytrill works wrll but can lead to dermal breakdowns if used to frequently. Better than death,I think. But if someone wants to research it, then thats their right, just dont ask me to volunteer any of MY Drymarchon for test subjects:) Good point Jeremy.
