If you are unsure, get a culture done.
If the vet prescribe you antibiotics without a culture, it's a sign to potentially find a different vet.
There are many different forms of RI.
Many different antibiotics are ineffective towards certain RIs. So randomly choosing an antibiotic to 'try out' is not a good plan.
The best thing to do is get a culture done. By getting a culture done, you can identify the exact kind of infection and the exact kind of antibiotic that is effective against it. If the antibiotic that was prescribed to you isn't the right kind, you're just wasting time with it and having your snake build an unnecessary resistance to it.
