Ok, not a snake person on a whole. Not that I don't like them I am just not knowledgeable, but very trainable. Have always loved animals though. The person whom I love also loves snakes. They are his babies. He had a huge python. 11 1/2- 12 feet. We believed she was possibly pregnant- but was not sure. Last Tues she was making odd noises. I guess the next day he inspected her more and found she had a lot of mucus in her mouth. He went to the vet and received injectable Baytril. I am guessing the vet believed her to have a upper respiratory infection. She received two injections- every other day. We gave the first seres of shots Weds. night. and the second set on Friday evening. She passed away sometime Saturday night.
How prone are snakes to upper respitory infections?
Is it common? Would that cause death so quickly?
