Ball Python with an R.I., what else can I do to help him along?
So, it's the start of breeding season and my only male got, I think, a pretty advanced R.I. He had one last year in the middle of winter, but that was due to poor heating on my part. Now all of my pythons are in a rack with a thermostat regulating their flexwatt. I'm pretty certain it's not temperature that caused it, but my vet suggested stress. Which, if I were to make a guess, he had a slight R.I. that I never noticed, then after introducing female's to him it just escalated. Either way, he got a shot of baytril, which last year once shot cleared him up pretty fast. But now since it's worse, you can still hear him, I guess the only word I can use to describe it is sniffling, but its a snake soo.. he's also basically got mucus running out of his mouth if he hangs upside down, and at the vet he started crawling around so much that you could hear it bubbling in his lungs fairly loudly and bubbles came out of his nose.
They gave me two more shots of baytril to administer myself every five days, but I just wanted to know, since its pretty bad, if there was anything else I could do to help it along in the meantime?
