: The theory is that because reptiles have a metabolism that can be sped up or slowed by environmental temperatures, absorbtion of baytril via the GI route can not gaurantee effective and/or stable concentrations within the animal's system. I am postive that there are papers on this but I don't have time to go hunting for them.

: Just curious Sharif, why not ask a vet, see a vet, rely on veterinary advice?

The vet will prescribe baytril, however, I would like to know which way is better. Thats why I was asking.
