There's a paper out about using enrofloxacin (= Baytril) in juvi Burms. Recommended dosing was 10 mg Baytril / kg body weight injected intramuscularly every 48 hours for 5-7 days. I'm no veterinarian, so I don't know if rat snakes would require different dosing, but this should give you some idea about it. The Baytril container should have concentraion info. on it in mg / ml. Weigh your snake, and convert pounds to killograms (pounds / 2.2 = kg). Then draw up enough mls in your syringe to give you the required mgs of Baytril.

Hope this helps.
