    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!) :P
    Good luck with your herp~ :snake:
