    Unhappy Ri?

    Hey, so I just got this BIG girl a few days ago, and she's seemed healthy over all.. But I finnaly took her out today to handle her a bit and check her over again, when I noticed that when she breaths, theres a little hissy noise...

    Well I noticed when I first got her the only thing wrong with her was she has old shed(s) stuck on her nose.. But I just have a feeling that it's not that, and that is probably RI.

    I would say that I 'dont know what to do' because Ive never had a sick snake before- but I DO know to make her an appointment ASAP (which I was going to anyway for a fecal test), and find out if she has it and do whatever I have to do to treat it.

    So could any of you please give me some advice (and/or a link), on the sighns of RI, how it's treated, and generaly how much it costs to treat it.

    I have the money, I would just like to know about how much I should bring with me so I can just get it all done and paid for in one shot instead of having to pay some later.

    Please and thanks in advance to everyone- I always get the best advice on here!

    Well, here's some advice from a noob: Call your vet and ask how much the appointment will be. Also, under the search bar, type in "respiratory infection" and a lot of threads will show up. Check them out and all of your questions will be answered (except the vet bill cause they all charge differently!)
    Good luck with your herp~

    Re: Ri?

    Sounds like an RI to me..

    Get it to the vet and have it checked out.
