Keeping a Wild Caught King Snake.

[MDT]

knowing the pharmacokinetics of the specific medication and the excretory means of the animal are kinda mission critical.

in larger mammals, it's usually a little more forgiving (i can dose a kid with amoxicillin at 45mg/kg/day vs 90mg/kg/day).....but i would never try this with a reptile.....1) i have no clue how to dose meds for reptiles, and 2) they have a funky renal-portal system. i have no clue how meds are processed in reptiles...so is my "best guesstimate" gonna be ok, or will it tip the sake over the edge and kill it...

i'll let my vet figure that one out. that's his sandbox.
