Hi I recieved a snake that had a respitory infection and mouth rot, she was to the point that she wasn't even shedding on her own .I took her to the vet and he gave me Baytril I used it as directed and it wasn't getting any better so someone suggested Amikacin. He prescribed that for me and within a few days of injecting her she was much better, I also used a soft brush with peroxcide on her mouth rot. She's perfectly fine now, eating up a storm and shedding on her own. Hope this helps!

Best of luck!
