Ball Python rescue and vet screwd me over
Hello everyone, I am new to being a ball python owner, I did about a year of research and saving before purchasing my little guy off off kijiji from a family that did not want him he came to me with RI and scaring galor which have cleared up but as well as that he had a bad shed and even though i soaked him the tail bits must have not come of properly and the result was bleeding,then scaring then scabbing i think ( trying to post photos not sure how), the vet gave me flamazine which actually made it worse and is not making individual scales slough off, ( the vet in general was rude, manhandled my snake when it wasn't necicairy and spent less then 15 minutes looking at him before prescribing flamazine ) after research i found out that one of the elements in flamazine ( Silver Sulfadiazine ) causes slower healing periods, not to mention the sloughing of scales. anyway now i have this what i think is a scab, a very active python (eating and putting on weight ) and a months worth of flamazine treatment that has caused the injury to expand. any ideas?
( please pardon any spelling errors I have very major dyslexia )
also if anyone knows how to post photos please tell me i would love to show whats going on to get better answers ! thank you for everyones time !
