verry nice post. glad your snake got better. the first time i treated a snake i bought the wong stuff i bought tylan 50 wich i thought was only a smaller bottle not a different med. this was less then 15% of the recommended dose and the snake still got better. so say what you want this stuff works.
i have no idea how in the heck we got on rats we are talking about ri in boids.
and as far as there being more than one type of RI. all i know the one that tylan must cure must be the one that pops up 90% of the time as everyone i have ever told to use it have had a healthy snake 9 days later.
