At the moment you can start treating it your self by raising them temps in the cage to the lower to mid 90's and lowering the humidity. My vet used Baytril the amount will depend on the size and weight of your snake. More people will be along in a bit to give you more info.

Depends on the strength of the batryl also.
Mine is 22.7 Batryl.
Heres the formula for using 22.7
10 mg/kg orally
Baytril is 22.7 mg/ml
Pounds divided by 2.2 = kg
Kilo X 10 = mg
Mg divided by 22.7mg/ml = dose in ml
Example:
Snake is 5.75 lbs
5.75 div by 2.2 = 2.6 kg
2.6 X 10 = 26 mg
26 Div by 22.7 = 1.1 mls

Thanks. But what would be the difference in doing it orally rather than IM injection? And also does she need extra B12 vitamins? I have already raised her temp and it is now at 92.3 and the humidity is around 40%. Thanks guys. Landon

Formula wise, I think is the same, but how ya do it is up to personal preference.
As long as it has been eating and digesting, then viamins aren't really needed as far as I know.

I don't normally give a B complex unless the animal hasn't been eating for a while. It will stimulate their appetite a bit if they've been off of food, if they've been eating, its just like eddie said, not really necessary.
And I'd definitely go with the injections over the oral... oral medications aren't nearly as effective in my experience - not to mention, infinitely more difficult to get into your snake. I'm not positive on the dosage for the injections though, my vet gives me mine all pre-measured. =)
