Here is another stupid question // you're probably sick of me, but

[dmt_jovi]

Oral anti-biotics are very inefficient when it comes to snakes and if your vet was experienced he would know that.

Luckily I never had to deal with an RI or any illness that required the use medication on my snakes, but I have seen some (knowledgeable) people raise that point that oral antibiotics are almost futile and the only way to correctly treat a snake that needs medication is using injectable antibiotics and, if you don't mind, I would like to understand why is that.

If they act in snakes in a similar way they act in humans, I would assume one of the main reasons they are preferred is because injectables are stronger and act faster than the oral ones, am I right in making this assumption?
