    Question RI in ball python

    I have a male Pewter ball python with a RI. He has been to the vet and has gotten one shot on Friday. I am giving him oral meds daily. My questions is I have seen post and videos about using a reptifogger and F10 SC. Most of the posts I see is this is a first line of treatment. Would this be more harmful than helpful if I were to do this for my "Nova" at this point?

    I used the reptifogger/f10 treatment while treating a RI and I dont thing it really did anything. Having the correct antibiotics is really the key. That said I don't think it does harm either and it could be loosening up some gunk in their lungs. But I've been happy with the reptifogger for fogging tubs during shedding and the F10 for cleaning so I didn't waste the money.
