What was the medication you were using? It's very possible she's reacting to it - it could be the wrong type, wrong dosage, etc.

[Manar El Halawani]

it calls flumox (Amoxycillin 250 mg; flucloxacillin 250 mg;)
1 shot 1mg
4 oral 1 mg
i'll stop the course now and will see.

Was this drug prescribed by a vet? If so, contact the vet and let him/her know what's happening.

If you're doing this yourself, well, what can I say? How do you know if the drug was even OK to give and what the proper dosage would be?

[Manar El Halawani]

well I didnt know only what I've read on the net also about the dosage I found it on an article online, I dont have a vet all we have in dogs and cats vets and they have no idea about reptiles. anyway I stoped the drug.

Did the swelling go down?
