Pneumonia - please help!

I took my 2 newest snakes to the vet because one sounded like an RI and I figured I'd take the other just in case since I got them at the same time from the same person.

Turns out one has a serious case of pneumonia! And it's the smallest one. Both are now being treated with injections every 3 days for 1 week then I will take them back for a check up or refill. I have upped their temps and their humidity and may very well do the same for ALL my snakes now just in case. I also added a cotton ball smeared in vix in a plastic baggie with holes to help ease their breathing a bit.

Does anyone else have other suggestions to help?

If the little one with the most severe case isn't better in a week, he will go into an oxygen chamber and continue medication at the clinic. I'd really prefer this not happen if at all possible.
