Ugh, one of my babies aspirated and is clicking. I can’t find any local vets who will treat him, and due to a change in laws I can’t buy antibiotics at the farm supply stores like I used to.
I have *really* old Baytril, Cephalexin 500mg capsules, or Doxycycline HYC 100mg capsules. Could someone please PM me help with dosing these capsules? I don’t think the Baytril is safe to use at its age.
He weighs 100grams.

What "form" is the really old Batril, liquid or tablets?
What is the milligrams?

It is liquid oral solution, and sadly it doesn’t state the mg, I don’t know why my old vet didn’t have it in the bottle?!? It was prescribed for a 5ft ball python and was to give 1.5mls once a day. Does that help any?

We'll go with the Cephalexin, expired suspensions should be discarded.
I will send you dosing to your private messages.
