I'm thinking proactively, no signs of an infection except gaping and I am lowering temps- this is going on less than 24 hours, but I'm on top of things 24/7. Cage is not ventilated enough, which I am working on rectifying ASAP. I thought he was gaping due to large hornworms, but today he didn't get any big ones and is gaping.
Cut to the chase, I don't have any exotic vets available but Baytril can be purchased online. For those that have used it, was it compounded into a liquid and if so do you know the correct dosage? I have a scale so can measure both meds and chameleon accurately. Wondering if it was tablets crushed up and given orally or is given as an injection.
His feces indicate decent hydration but a tiny bit of mucus that I don't like the look of (clear).
Eating normally, he is given silks, hornworms, crickets, dubia, orange head, and waxworms with occasional BBFs and snails, all raised by me and gutloaded to precision. Crickets are from Josh's supplier but I have had them for several weeks and all other feeders are 2nd generation or so and therefore parasites unlikely. He does not go outdoors and is not handled by anyone other than me, and then only for a few seconds to move him from top of the cage to a branch to feed/mist. My mister is set to go off for 30 seconds 4-5 times per day.
UV is Arcadia 12 (single bulb). Basking bulb is on a dimmer (I just turned it down). Using a temp gun to check for hot spots, everything seems good. Jungle Dawn 40W plant bulb also in use.
Bottom line- what's the dosage of Baytril and is it usually oral or injected?
