What is the best way to deliver baytril to a very hostile Blood Python?

I've always used injection for any antibiotic. It's usually given every 72 hours with initial doses being doubled (at least amakacin was dosed that way...baytril might be different and I don't feel like going to get my doseage book to find out). Since the animal is so aggressive it would most likely be easier than dosing with a syringe and I'd avoid feeding when the animal has to have surgery. My false water cobra underwent 4 surgeries for a persistant yeast eye infection and we ended up sedating with an initial dose of I think it was valium and perhaps versed...I didn't write it down. Gas (isofluorane) via mask was used to help keep her quiet any time she got a little too awake. We tried using ketamine the first time and it worked but it took over 30 hours for her to recover from it so we didn't use it again. She was so limp the evening after the surgery that I thought she was dead! The valium worked best with the quickest recovery, but it still took at least 24 hours for the snake to even begin to move around. Expect a slow recovery as they have very slow metabolisms-pythons slower than my FWC. I would use the minimum you can get away with depending upon size of your blood. Your reptile vet should have a good idea of the drugs needed to sedate. Hope he does well!
