just spoke with the vet, she said they overbooked and cant get me in till after the holiday, but she said i can come by and get a new medication called Batryl<-? which is an oral antibiotic used once every other day, and then she wants me to stop by walgreens and a zinc-oxide cream/ointment. she says i should continue soaking in the anti biotics then apply the cream. i asked if it may be a burn she said if it was treatment would be the same.

what to do AAHHHHH
cream or no cream
soak or dont soak
start the new meds, continue with what i have
drive an hour to see another vet or take this ones advice
heating pad or no heating pad

however my friend just gave me the number to her friend who is a total snake junkie and has seen everything, owns his own reptile shop. she said to bring him in there and have him take a look. she said he may even keep him and treat him for me :-)
