I would have to say that some of the people here provide better advice than most vets would. I know for a fact that the local vet here wouldn't be of as much help as this forum if I had an issue with one of my snakes. How can I trust a vet who believes that oral meds are always a better idea than injections for snakes? No matter what the problem is, the vet always seems to prescribe oral baytril 1X a day for 2 weeks.
