Treat a Respiratory Infection (RI) from Home. DIY

[Kcl]

Thank you for the info on the oils. I had no idea and have clearly been given false information.
I do not keep having RIs these snakes came to me from a lady who clearly took poor care of them. I honestly had no idea they were sick when I got them since I have kept them in quarantine and haven't taken them out until after quarantine was up to examine them.

Periodic health checks should be integrated into a quarantine procedure. Many also integrate a vet check and/or a fecal into the quarantine. At the very least a periodic health check and a visual examination of all feces should be performed to check for abnormalities. If you are not checking for symptoms during the quarantine period, there is not all that much point in it. The purpose of the quarantine is to give time for symptoms of illnesses to be identified before potentially introducing it to other snakes. If you're not watching the snakes for the symptoms to develop, you're not really doing anything with the quarantine.

Edit: well, technically you'd still avoid introducing anything that would kill within 90 days (or whatever your quarantine period is). Anything non-lethal, not so much.
