The vet needs to do a culture to figure out which bacteria is causing the problem THEN prescribe the appropriate antibiotic that the bacteria is most susceptible too. The vet should also show you how to dose the animal; the right amount of medication, over (x) amount of days and how to give the injections or tube the snake of the meds are to administered orally.
The anti-biotic they usually use is Tylan. Its not something I just randomly chose. No one else has done this? I watched videos on how to give a snake a shot, its not rocket science. And I mean, what else would cause wheezing, mucus build up, loss of appetite, and loss of weight? Seems obvious no?
