Stomatitis

[baltiets]

Hello,

My F. pardalis has probably stomatitis. I read in book that Baytrill can cure it. I wanted to ask you, how Baytrill is given to chameleons? Can it be given by oral or only by injection? In the book is also written that it cure stomatitis within 5 days. Is it true?

Generally for chameleons, if the infected area is not cleaned out, the infection will not be gotten rid of. A culture and sensitivity test will show the bacteria involved and also the antibiotic that will work to kill it. The most common bacteria I have seen/heard of in mouth infections is pseudomonas aeruginosa....and its not the easiest one to get rid of.
