Sažetak
A three-year-old male western black-tailed rattlesnake refusing food and losing weight presented with a swelling on the right side of the head below the eye. An abscess was suspected and treatment with subcutaneous enrofloxacin was started immediately. After identification of the causative agents as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and following susceptibility testing enrofloxacin was replaced by marbofloxacin and intralesional treatment with gentamicin/betamethasone was introduced, along with gentamicin administered subcutaneously at an increased terrarium temperature of 35 C.
