A while back I posted about my snake possibly having an RI. I let it be, hoping for the best, but it was indeed a RI and I got him into the vet immediately. I received Baytril to inject him with daily, and have been giving him the injections around the same time per my vets orders.

Anyway, I've got some questions for you guys. Ed, the snake, seems to be getting worse not better, hes weezing and coughing much more often then he was before, but is much more active and visiting his water bowl daily. Are these good signs?

Secondly, Ed's seemed to have developed a lump at one of his injection sites. It doesn't look irritated, red, or really anything out of the normal, other then being a small lump on his side. Time to worry again?

Help is very much appreciated.

As I'm sure that I'll be ask about my enclosure. I'm holding him in a 20 gallon tall. I lowered the humidity (I've read that it helps, correct me if I'm wrong), and increased the heat (belly heat at 95 on the glass, not substrate) and an ambient temp of upper 80's - low 90's. His water dish is always full (and is getting changed right after I post. And of course, he has 2 hides, 1 hot, one cold.

Otherwise a very happy snake before the infection hit, with no problems tagging his two adult mice each week (was working on getting him on rats.)

He'll be making a switch to a 31qt tub here withing the next month or 2.

Again, help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
