Question about antibiotics and feeding

[Jmarshall]

It's often best to wait on feeding when a snake is given repeated medications (& also some meds cause a lack of appetite or even nausea) but since you
already fed him, it's a done deal...cross your fingers. He NEEDS the antibiotic ON schedule- if he stays warm & quiet between now & when you have to give
his injection tomorrow, hopefully the rodent will be well on it's digested way & not make a "return appearance".
That's a good sign that he wanted food now, I can understand your concern & eagerness to feed; lets hope he recovers quickly & fully.

I have read about the importance of finishing all 10 doses of the medication or risk the RI returning and can create resistant strains.. I have a question you may or may not be able to answer regarding that.. Does a resistant infection mean his current infection will stop responding to his meds.. or moving forward he is more likely to develop strains that don't respond?

*I have every intention of giving him his meds on time and completely*
