I have two boas with RI infections. I have a friend who is a vet tech and has supplied me with Amakacin which I have been administering to both boas every three days. It has now been eights days and my larger female has showed no noticeable improvement. My question for all is that I plan to switch treatments to Tylan (it's cheaper and sounds like it will work better for my problem) but I am not sure if I can continue with the Tylan where I have left off with the Amakacin. Should I wait a few days or weeks before starting them on Tylan or can I start immediately? Drug interactions in reptiles I doubt have been studied thoroughly but any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I can't say if anything will happen, but if you don't get any responces from someone with experince then I would wait to be safe.

I agree, could your friend ask the vet?

Hey Lauren,
could you ask the vet at Bush Gardens about this? switching from Amakacin to Tylan? You would have to know the dosage though. ???? Just a thought......don't mind me ???
