I've heard of URI's treatments running from as low as $85 to as much as $350 (and more in some cases).

It's not like buying a VCR, it really depends on the severity of the illness and the method of treatment needed/chosen by the vet.

$120 for vet, five shots, and dewormer (not convinced that was necessary).
Good Luck!

Thank U people!!! For the numbers! Unlike some people!!! :D

Everyone is saying they had 5 shots! So im guessing you have to give the med to the snake yourself right? How is it done? Its not a needle is it? :O

Yes, you do need to give the anitbiotics via injection. The vet should show you how to do it. ;)

It is a needle-every two days-upper third of the snake-switch side muscles. Remember to hold the medicine in after the shot. The liquid will leak out. Not as bad as the dewormer medicine. Why he didn't bite me I don't know.
I would have.

OMG!! I really thought u feed the med through the mouth... I read fourms about people dripping med in the mouth NOT giving there snakes shots.. For the people that has given there snake a shot.. How was it? Did it try to get away or strike at you??

adam has shared in the past that med's by mouth are not effective on RI - so shots would be your best method!
