    Respiratory infection
    My ball python has a minor RI. Took her to the vet on Friday and she is now on antibiotics. He put her on 5 injections every 3 days. She got her first one on Friday and I have to give her a second one tomorrow. My question is, just out of curiosity, how long do they take to kick in and start working? I noticed her mouth open a little bit yesterday to breathe but not as much as before. Just wondering if it takes a few injections before she starts feeling better again.

    Depends on the animal, the severity and whether proper antibiotic were prescribed.

    This is her first RI and the vet said it is not a bad one. The antibiotic is injections of ceftazidime.
