After my spider shed today I was handling her and was noticing a lot of popping and wheezing. I tried locating an exotics vet around here, but none exist. The ones on the herp sites around here are old and outdated. I ended up calling around and finding a vet to take the snake.

I took her to the vet and the guy wasn't very familiar with ball pythons and was very hesitant around her. I told him I thought she had a possible RI. We opened her mouth and didn't see any excess mucus, but she is still popping and wheezing. The vet really didn't know much more or what to do, so I opted for baytril.

I am supposed to inject her every 5 days for 25 days. It looks to be about .2 cc of solution in the syringes. They gave me 4 prefilled and they did one at the vet. I asked if they dilute it, but he said they didn't need to.

Any words of advice for the RI or how to treat it?
