    I would also ask what other antibiotics they have available for RI's. Most vets don't stock fortaz as it's expensive and has a short shelf life once reconstituted - it has to be drawn into syringes and frozen. My snakes have also been prescribed pip-taz but it's stupid expensive so again, most vets don't stock it.
