Re: sick diamondback

Julie, If her eyes are slightly swollen as well then I still lean towards a vit A problem. If so then keep her fed as long as she will eat and give a little vit A orally every couple of feedings. You might try changing the water and add 2tbsp table salt, 1tbsp baking soda, 1tbsp Epsoms salt (MgSO4) for every ten gallons of water. Try to be patient and give the antibiotics time to clear her system as well. Was she on baytril? injectable or oral? I need to check some references but I think some antibiotics actually block certain vitamin absorption. Don’t hold me to this but it may just take some more time. hope this helps, Scott
