You are doing the right thing by taking it to the vet. So many people only try home remedies not suitable for reptiles instead of taking them to the vet like they should.
Let the vet determine the course of action and follow it TO THE LETTER. Make sure you keep the snake on paper towels and minimal clutter during treatment. A water bowl and two hides. Keep heat up slightly higher than normal (hot side 90-92, cool side 80ish) to give your snake's immune system a boost. Clean the cage every time before treatment and disinfect it with approved cleaner (not bleach or lysol). The vet can recommend what to clean with.
You most likely will have 3-5 injections you need to give. I would avoid feeding for the first 2-3 treatments to prevent stressing out the snake. Once you see signs of improvement, you can slowly start feeding again.
Regardless of what I just advised you, your vet is the best source of information and treatment.
This is the advice that needs to be on YouTube , not Barzyck and bhb. He tells people to not go and try home remedies ... he said it was natural for his retic to bubble at the mouth.. smh. I’m going to stop there before I go off, but this is a 10 out of 10 example of what there needs to be more of in regards to advice!

No, i understood what you meant. I did some google searches and found a few home remedies......which i tried for two days before taking him in........would it have made a difference.....not sure. But the best advice is take them to the reptile vet immediately when you notice something off. I understand that now.
