So, I'm interested. I've always been told that with the slower metabolism of snakes that oral delivery of the antibiotic is less effective than Sub-Q delivery of the anti-biotics.

I think that Dr. Scott Stahl even covers this when he was a guest on Reptile Radio (he's considered THE leading herp vet in the country, if not the world).

CritterVet, since you are a veterinarian, you may also find this episode interesting. My vet was very interested in listening to it and learning about the more cutting edge medicine and treatment of RI's.

Probably one of the most informative episodes of Reptile Radio, IMHO.
