Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

i guess it would depend on the causative organism of the stomatitis. quinolones should cover gram negative bacteria well. but if you've got lower respiratory tract issues from pseudomonas and providencia, and a totally diff organism causing stomatitis, you've got a lot of plates to keep spinning.

Actually you have two problems. The first is that you bought the sick snake from an untrusted source, the second - and it's a much bigger one - is that you didn't quarantine the new arrival from your main collection. If you had correct quarantine procedures in place, the mites from the sick new snake would never have have come into contact with your other snakes.
Ask your vet if he would forego doing the x-rays and prescribe you the antibiotics with just exams and one office visit charge, based on the history of how the three snakes contracted the RI. That should save a good bit of cash and get your critters the meds they need.

three problems.....you keep trying to circumvent proper prescribing methods for USP compounds...that may not seem like a big deal to you, but to those of us trying to protect a medical license from state medical boards, it's a huge deal.
bcr229 has a good option...you know what the culture report is.....take that in to the vet w you. see what they will work out for you.

It sounds like you're paying insane big city prices for vet care. Have you tried asking on any of your state's reptile-based Facebook forums to get a referral to an exotic vet outside of Chicago? Even if you have to drive a bit, it would be better than spending $600-700 per critter for RI treatment.

I can verify that in cities vet fees are often much higher. I had a surgery done once, city vet quote was 1800, country doctor did it for 300$. Everything turned out fine and turned out he was able to get a lot of extra lab work done for me for free as part of a study of someone he knew that wasn't even included in the city doc quote. Drive an hour outside chicago and you're in the boon docks.

Is this an advertisement or a discussion? It certainly looks like a discussion; but that wouldn't happen in a classified ad, right?
What say you, CreatureFreak?

Since the discussion comments are continuing, I'm just going to lock this until I hear from the OP.
