she also mentioned nebulization. what solution do you use to nebulize your cham? she said i could use the NSS .9% sodium chloride solution. i could also mix it 1:1 ratio with amikacin but she said it's too risky the chameleon might die because amikacin is very strong. help me. what should i do? i wanna go with baytril? who as tried it? thanks
 
ask your vet if she has access to the Veterinary Information Network (VIN) its a website for veterinarians to share cases and info. My reptile vet uses it all the time. She could do a search there about the RI in chameleons. You could also PM ferretinmyshoes here on the board, she should know a lot.
 
the dosage i gave was .02 ml twice a day for a week but i dont know if it was diluted??
i would pm ferritinmyshoes for some better info
