Today I was ranting and raving to someone ( a BP breeder) about how I can't get rid of this RI outbreak in my house with my snakes. I was going on about how they have been to the vet more times in the last two-three months then my 9 year old dog has ever been to the vet in her life. Was telling this guy how nothing is working. Baytrl worked for a bit then failed. Now I'm using Amilkacin and well it's not working since everyone is still wheezing.

His responce to me was "You may lose your whole collection, some RI types just can't be cured." The look on my face I know was priceless and I kinda of giggled and said "you've got to me !@#$ing me... right!?" and he was like "No, I know people who spent hundreds of dollars on treatments and still have lost entire collections to this kind of RI. It just gets out of control from the atart and ruines their lungs. In the end it's best to just put down them down and out of pain".



So now I'm really hoping this is just a bunch of b.s! If it's true I'm going to be really mad and upset. Has anyone else heard this before?
