It's time to get a new vet.

There is no "best" antibiotic for an RI. RIs are caused by different bacteria and these bacteria have susceptibilities to different antibiotics. The best antibiotic is the one that works on the specific bacteria causing the infection in your snake.
Thank you skip. To be honest, when it comes to medication I always ask. I have no idea so I'd rather not make a simple mistake that could turn into a very.. had argument..

I also apologize if this question seems stupid, I just want to make sure what I was told was true, which I assumed wasn't..

To the best antibiotic...I again apologize, I shouldn't have said that either. Seeing as how my snakes has been ceftazidime for almost 2 months I'm freaking out..

I thank you yet again. I called the vet earlier and they verified thy take snakes, I am going to call Monday and attempt to schedule a apportionment.

Again, I apologize and thank you.. (wow, I say both of those a lot....)
