: Annette...ok here we go...Im wondering exactly
how long ago Tudes last Baytril ...cuz maybe you
can get away with not taking her
back....Anyway...for the next two weeks (only if
she's had that Baytril recently) :
: 1) Go to the nearest drug store & get Zinc Oxide
its silvadene great for burns too but we're gonna
use it for somethin else here . Put it on Tudie's
sore spots every night and every am (usually slow
Ig times..less moving & rubbing it off)
: 2) Up the temps 90-100 during day and no less
than usual at night that means get her closer to
light/heat eliminate play space...whatever you
have to do..keep her nice & toasty.
: 3) make sure you've got UVB going 12 hrs. a day
: for next two weeks only ..after that whenever
you usually have em on.
: 4) Add calcium supplement to salad. everyday for
2 weeks....then go back to whenever you use it
normally

: I think what's ailin Miss Tude...is pyoderma..a
bacterial skin infection that is helped with
antibiotics and topicals simultaneously. If left
untreated IT IS FATAL. But as Ms. Tude recently
had Baytril for her swollen leg. maybe she won't
have to go back just yet.

: The way it works...New enclosure...>ig gets
little sharp points of claws whacked off...> new
house...> ig can't climb up slick cherry branches
because mommie whacked off the tips of my
fingernails, and she forgot to cut grooves on the
branches or wrap rope around em so I got somethin
to hang on to....>ig falls & goes boom..>
: mom freaks when she sees my new muscular front
leg.....>takes me to doc....>doc gives me Baytril
(now only if Mom & Babyherp wouldve bought stock
in Baytil they'd be millionares by
now!!)...Baytril is for swelling and infection doc
tells mom its an antibiotic...infection?
hmmm....>
: baytril kicks in..Im feelin pretty
good...muscular leg lookin alright now.....>ut
oh...>what happened to the infection....>it
traveled...>spring breakout!!! ....it showed up
on Miss Tude's skin......hopefully this will
help...for the next two weeks if it persists I'd
take her back to the vet for more Baytril...her
skin infection is secondary to the fall &
subsequent swelling....
: TaDa!!! Does that sound anything near close?
: I gotta run...Im late for work!!!!

: Gina, Juana & Feo

Wow your good BabyHerp!!!!That's what is going on,had a couple of friends that happened to and the vet told them to ty that.
