I've had three snakes come to me with RIs (one adult and then two babies from an expo) and all three after taken to the vet were put on injectable antibiotics. Can a snake recover from an RI if caught early with nebulized F10 and raising heat? Yes, but sometimes snakes do need antibiotics to get better. These antibiotics should be prescribed after a culture to see what type of RI the snake has. There is nothing wrong with giving shots to your own snake(s) as long as you were shown how to properly do them first by a knowledgeable vet or otherwise IMO.
