Most reptile keepers see medication administration to their reptiles to be quite a challenge, most especially if that pet does not eat daily. Pet reptiles may also have negative reactions to specific medications due to the slightly differing blood circulation when compared to mammals. The reptile circulatory system diverts the blood that flows through the back portion of the body, passing through the liver and kidneys before it proceeds through the remainder of the animal’s body. As this occurs, the medication that goes through the liver and kidneys might get eliminated before having the chance to take effect. This becomes true for medicine that is injected around the reptile’s rear portion of its body. Therefore, the recommendation is that the medicine injection site for pet reptiles must be located somewhere fronting the kidneys.
