Treat a Respiratory Infection (RI) from Home. DIY

[Skiploder]

Most RI's in snakes are bacterial. That's why vets are so quick to prescribe antibiotics without even doing a culture.

Since most vets don't culture, we will never know what percentage are bacterial and what percentage are viral. It seems that there are a plague of RIs on this forum alone that do not respond to repeated rounds of different antibiotics.

Common sense would dictate that until vets do due process and start culturing, no one should assume that RIs in snakes are mainly viral or bacterial.
