Thanks for sharing your experiences and advice.

I use paper towels for substrate so that shouldn't be an issue. I'll see if I can get the temperatures and humidity a little higher.

The vet advised against oral dosing. She said based on the literature about herp treatments intramuscular injection was more effective. She claimed there isn't much uptake of the drug from the digestive system. I also found some posts online about oral dosing causing internal problems. Some people report no problems with either method. It's hard to say which option is best, because I do want the most effective treatment. The dose is diluted with saline, and I'm using a different injection site every time. So far no swelling or lesions at those areas but it's only been a few days.

Did CeeCee get sores, Marnie? I'll check for your post in the morning, Chris, thanks.
