Anyone know if this would be ok or not

So question my lovely girl is on a shot of antibiotics every three days. It will take to people to give the medicine tomorrow my gf will be gone most of the day and won’t be home till I’m gone for work. Do you think I could give it to her tonight? Would it effect her?

You should only follow the directions using antibiotics...they work best when absorbed at a consistent rate that was prescribed...no, I wouldn't give it early.

Ok that’s what I figured I’ll just have to rearrange my schedule tomorrow or get up super early and give it to her Thanks for the quick response

Or find someone else to give you a hand at the prescribed time slot? When the directions say every 3 days, for example, they
mean to give it every 72 hours...as close to that as you can.

It’s for the big girl no one will even come over they are so afraid of snakes lol... I’ve got no one to help me besides her haha ... I’ve unfortunately not been able to meet any other fellow reptile enthusiasts that are local to me

She got her first shot at about 10am Monday give her take and I’m gonna get it to her as close to the time tomorrow as we’ll prolly will have to do it at 7 am id rather do it a couple hours early then a couple hours late am I going about that right or is it better to be a little late on antibiotics then before 72 hours

How far away is the vet? You really shouldn't give her a shot without assistance (for a big snake). How has she behaved so far? does she fight it?

Hope it's OK given 3 hours early...personally I'd ask the vet though. The idea is to keep the level in her fairly constant to work best.

No she didn’t give the vet a hassle at all didn’t even fight much when she had her mouth pried open with a light down her throat but when they was done she tried to run for the hills and she hide the rest of the day. But I don’t much blame her haha she seems to be responding to the medicine well she has been sleeping a lot but no more open mouth breathing that I have seen and she is more active when she isn’t asleep but she is also in full shed right now she has been cruising rubbing her head up and down on everything I think she will be shedding soon... how will I know if she is having a problem shedding could I soak her to help soften it up a bit or something she has been in blue since last Friday I feel like she should have shed by now

The vet is about an 1.5 hours away

If she's still in blue, she's not ready to shed yet...she'll go "clear" first before shedding. (she'll appear almost as if she's already shed, due to fluid being secreted
by her body between the old & new layers of skin to facilitate her shedding) To help her shed, boost up her humidity and/or give her a "humid-hide". I'm glad to
hear she's not mouth-breathing now & seems to have more energy- it helps to be getting oxygen, ya think? ;)

See her eyes I’m sure she is ready to shed at this point no longer blue.

I'm not an expert, but that looks like she isn't out of blue yet. Looks more to me like she is on her way to the clear stage before the shed.

I think I read on some older threads a while back that snakes may have a longer or more drawn out shed when on medications and that it isn't harmful if it takes longer to happen as long as the shed comes off correctly when it happens.

She's still "in blue"...and snakes that are ill and/or on medications can also be expected to take longer or even have a messed up shed. It's not "the end
the world"...messy sheds happen, they are not an "illness"...only a symptom of what's going on with a snake's body.

I offered her a jumbo rat today knowing that she prolly wouldn’t eat it.. but she hasn’t ate since I got her and who knows the last time the last owners fed her so I tired anyway. It took a little coaxing. But she took it killed it and let it go .. I was like damn figured. So i left it in their with her turned off her light and left for about 30 mind came back and the rat was gone so all animals fed for me this week hopefully. No more problems makes me feel much better . I didn’t think she would feed cause of the mess and shedding but I’d rather offer and it be a waste of money then assume and not try and she be hungry
