I looked up danofloxacin on Drugs.com, since I had never heard of it before. That site only referenced beef cattle, but stated that the drug can cause enough damage to the skin and muscle at the injection site that the area needs to be excised at the time of slaughter, at least 4 days after dosing.Danofloxacin (Advocin) is in the same "family" of drugs as Baytril (enrofloxacin) which is most likely the reason the tortoise is favoring the leg where it was injected. The same reaction is often noted with Baytril injections.
Also, it is to be injected sub Q. I wonder if the tort was injected IM?
