out of all the things that can be done this is the worse one, I still do not get where people get those idea, the pulmorery system of a snake is not like one of a human and everyone know that oils are VERY bad for snakes.leaving the pan of vicks/Eucalyptus
Even if it was working like with human all it would do is alleviate symptoms, it would not be curing anything.
A RI is not a cold that goes away with time and for which symptoms can be aliviated until gone, a RI would be the equivalent of a pneumonia if you had to make a comparison when it comes to the seriousness of it.
It's not something that goes away, not something that you treat at home with stupid homemade remedies.
1# RI must be diagnosed, there are things starting off like RI that are not, but I will stop there on that to avoid paranoia.
2# once diagnosed it is important to know what cause the RI, there are several causes, once that is assessed the proper anti-biotic will be prescribe for no less than 30 days.
Finally the sooner it is done the better, the longer you wait the harder it will be for the animal to recover.
