feeding my ball python while receiving injections....?

My ball python got an RI....really. It sure how this happened...but either way...she is receiving two different injections. One everyday and one every three days for the next 3 or so weeks. She's been on them three days now. I caught the RI early. She hasn't eaten since the tenth. (1/10) I tried to feed her yesterday and she refused food. I know she's under stress. Should I just keep trying?

*not really sure. (My enclosure is kept at right temps and humidity %)

She probably won't be eating due to the stress of receiving injections and having to deal with the RI, just monitor her weight make sure it doesn't lower too much, how old is she? How much does she weigh?

How big is she? If she is over 300 grams I wouldn't even offer till a week after injections are done.

She is about 3 months give or take. She weighed under 200 or right around there. They told me at the vet, forgive me. Its been a really long week for me. I'm pretty posttive it was under 200

Good chance she won't eat at all due to the stress of constant handling and shots.

I had one in 2013 go through this. Shots every 3 days for a month. She didn't eat the whole time. Was under 200g similar to your's.

After the shots are done wait 5 to 7 days then start offering something with the biggest chance of them taking; I did a live mouse, and it got her back on feeding immediately.
