RI Questions

NewDimReps Jul 18, 2005 08:41 PM

I took one of my snakes to the Vet on 7/6/05 due to a respitory
infection. Ive been giving him his doses of Fortaz for 12 days he is on his 5th dose tonight he is still showing signs of the RI he still wheezes and opens his mouth some how long does this usually take to clear up the whole way it takes. Anyone has had a similar experience please give me some info.

Thanks Mike

What temps are you keeping him at? You will want to keep him at the higher end of the range and keep it 24X7. That is, do not provide a night-time temp drop.

The ambient stays no lower than 85. I got the heat tape turned up to 95.
