    As far I knew, both Baytril and Fortax worked on gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Maybe I'm wrong but i'm just a stickler for getting a "diagnosis" aka culture done as I personally like to know what exactly im fighting. But yeah that cocktail probably works good on snakes. I've been lucky and haven't had to deal with RI in snakes, just my beardie and it was a rough month or so since the Baytril upset her stomach and since Baytril also dehydrates the animal, I was having to feed her baby food mixed with probiotics every day by syringe dropping drips on her nose for her to lick off as well as giving her oral Baytril daily...oh god it was a nightmare.
