Metabolic scaling of antibiotics in reptiles: Basis and limitations
Abstract 10.1002/(SICI)1098-2361(1996)15:33.3.CO;2-P The allometric equation y = a · xb has been used to scale many morphological and physiological attributes relative to body mass. For instance, in eutherian mammals, the equation Pmet = 70Mb0.75 has been used to describe the relationship between metabolic rate (Pmet) and body mass (Mb). Similar equations have been derived for […]
The use of gentamicin sulfate therapy in a captive blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) with intestinal biting syndrome
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430120509.abs This note reports on the use of gentamicin sulfate as a supportive measure for a juvenile blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus), which presented with an abrupt onset of anorexia, and laceration and prolapse of the scroll valve intestine (putative intestinal biting syndrome). Gentamicin sulfate was administered as an intramuscular injection (3.3 mg/kg body […]
