Common Reptile Drugs and Dosages

Warning: This information is primarily intended for wildlife rehabilitators collaborating with veterinarians and for veterinarians overseas who may not have easy access to such data. We strongly advise reptile owners against self-treating their animals without the support of a qualified reptile vet. The increasing threshold of over-the-counter and some legend drugs does not imply that treatment is straightforward. Various elements need to be considered by herpetological vets when determining the right treatment, medication, and dosage to administer—factors that this document does not encompass. Neglecting these aspects can result in serious harm or mortality in reptiles.

Unless otherwise stated, the recommended doses below are sourced from Mader and Frye.

Note: All medications are administered once daily unless otherwise noted.

Antibiotics

Amikacin (amiglyde sulfate) 5 mg/kg IM, then 2.5 mg/kg IM every 72 hours. Highly nephrotoxic - administer along with SC/IC fluids.

Amoxicillin: 10 mg/kg IM every 24 hours; 22 mg/kg PO every 12-24 hours. This is less effective unless combined with aminoglycosides (e.g., Amikacin).
