In Reply to: Re: Leopards and Baytril, a question for Leopard tort keepers posted by Terry on April 07, 2001 at 23:39:30:
: Some Leopards can have an alergic reaction to Baytril, so watch out for it. Foaming at the mouth is a sign of this alergic reaction.
: Anyone Leopard tort keepers out there seen this reaction to Baytril in their torts?
: Baytril is usually given as a 10 day course.
: A shot every other day for 10 days. 5 shots total.
: No need to put your other Leopards on Baytril, unless they start displaying symptoms too. Just keep the one with the runny nose quarantined.
: Keep the tort on Baytril well hydrated, a nice daily soak for 5 -10 minutes, in shallow, luke warm water. The water should only come up to the very bottom of his neck, or where the carapace meets the plastron.Dry him off well after the soak.
: Baytril can be a bit dehydrating, so make sure the tort's either drinking, or give him the 5- 10 minute soak while on meds.
: Best of luck, hope he's on the road to recovery.
: I've linked reptile veterinary listings below, just incase you're not happy with the vet you saw.
: Terry.
Hi Terry,
I have never had any of the Leops on Baytril just to be safe as there are so many other effective meds (and thankfully they are healthy :)
I did talk to a lady recently whose tort was treated with Baytril as a preventive because it had been exposed to a sick animal- and it was dead inside of twelve hours.
Its good to have a vet keep tabs on things but I cant imagine giving any meds with out even seeing symptoms.
