Use of carbenicillin in two species of tortoise (Testudo graeca and T hermanni) |
|
| Authors: | K Lawrence G H Palmer J R Needham |
| Abstract: | A preliminary investigation of the blood levels of carbenicillin, after the administration of a single intramuscular injection, suggests that the tortoise's bladder may act as a reservoir of antibiotic that is available for resorption. This phenomenon could confound the establishment of a safe, effective dose regime for antibiotics, in tortoises, which are excreted in an unchanged active form in urine. |
