			<description><![CDATA[ Kim,<br>I know that she has drank water on her own, and she did last night, even when the lights were on (rare but it happens). And I've also placed another bowl of water out for her on both sides of the tank. But I will ask the vet for other ways to hydrate her. And I will call the vet today for another appointment and for a C/S test.<br><br>Meg,<br>I didn't really give up... I actually administered the Amiglyde yesterday after I got off work. And I got a kiss from her too...... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The other thing is that in order to work, the antibiotics have to be administered. You can't just give up because your chondro doesn't like it. They aren't going to...trust me.   Using partial doses or not doing the full regimen leads to drug resistant strains of bacteria which is a detriment to all of us.

			<description><![CDATA[ I wouldn't trust she's taking in enough fluids on her own.  You know the old saying about leading a horse to water...<br>The coughing is most likely coming from an RI and you do not know whether you're using medication that will actually help her without doing a resistance test.  I wasted time not doing this one time before and lost a chondro because of it.  It's worth the time and the money to not lose a snake.  An RI can kill quickly.<br><br>Keep us updated on her progress and I hope she's... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ After reading Greg Maxwell's site, I think Amiglyde and Amikacin are the same thing because that was what the vet told me to keep her hydrated when amiglyde is in use. And I remember that from my WLP too. At the same time the amount to be administrated to my GTP fit the formula given by Mr. Maxwell. <div class='signature'>ChondroHead<br>Danny<br>4.3.1 GTPs <br>and 11 other reptiles...<br>Addicted doesn't even begin to describe me... <br>STEVE IRWIN RULES!</div> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Nope... its Amiglyde. I just rememebered I've got the reciept in my bag. I'm not sure, but someone once said that the medication  might have updated the names or changed names and that Amikacin might be Amiglyde... I don't know... But I know that Amiglyde was used Antibiotics because I had it for my White lip which had RI, dehydration, mites, and worms when I got him years ago... The medication is the only part about the visit I feel ok about, its the coughing part I'm itchy about...<div... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You don't always see or hear anything when they have an RI.  From experience, I wouldn't play guessing games with an RI.  Is that antibiotic you mentioned Amikacin?  If so, you need to follow up with fluids or you run the risk of kidney problems.  <br><br>Please take a look at Greg's site on this.  <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.finegtps.com/Care_sheets.html#Drug_regimen">suggested drug regimen</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>You certainly did the right thing taking your chondro... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was given Amiglyde... (something like that) I've been given that before for my White Lipped Python when I first got him. Its administered with a needle and I'm used to do that too. But the thing is there isn't any sounds or mucus indicating RI... The phlem... like... thingy... was in her throat, what looks like (to me) saliva... I haven't administered any of the antibiotic yet because she wouldn't hold still and pooped all over me yesterday so I gave up and put her back in her... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Danny,<br><br>What she give you antibiotics for exactly?  A coughing chondro is most likely a chondro with an RI.  I would take her back and have a swab or a lung wash done ASAP and find out which antibiotics will treat her RI.  Randomly choosing an antibiotic is not a good thing to do.  Which one were you given and how are you administering it?<div class='signature'>Kim Burge<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.southernchondros.com" target="top">Southern Chondros</a><!--EZCODE... ]]></description>
