Respites Infection. WE NEED HELP

[bcr229]

I know I shoudln't assume... but I'd assume it's the same as with humans... antibiotics don't work against a virus. Over the counter stuff works (in humans) but it pretty much has to run it's course.

This. There are no cures - period - for any viral infections. We either fight them off or we die.

There are vaccines for things like influenza, but if you get it you basically have to hope your immune system clobbers it.

Many vets will still prescribe abx to prevent an opportunistic bacterial infection, such as pneumonia, from taking over while your snake is fighting the viral disease.
