In Reply to: Flagyl dosage rates???????? posted by bobl on January 23, 2003 at 12:26:46:

I still wonder about this. I lost spilotes after being treated last fall, even after a clean fecal. I wonder if not only the high metabolism but the stress some of these snakes exhibit might need to be factored. Isn't a stressed snake - a wild caught one, for example, going to be more susceptable than a CB of the same species? What is it about Drys that make them mnore susceptable? Just a function of higher metabolism?

:I just received some "Metrozol" or more specifically Metronidazole from "The Bean Farm".
:I got it to Flagyl my Cribos and I thought the scientific name sounded very familiar, but I couldn't remember where I knew it from. I used to keep tropical fish and I used this stuff to treat "hole in the head disease"! These are in the capsule form so I will have to open the capsule and mix it with water, but I don't know the correct dosage rates for use on my Cribos.
:If anyone has the dosage rates please e mail me or post it here.

:Thanks
:Bobby
