athena has a respiratory infection :|
What's up everyone, my 1 1/2 year old ball python athena unfortunately happened to come across a case of respiratory infection. i took her to the vet two days after I first saw her drooling as I had to go away the next day. the vet did a culture and prescribed fortaz...she gets shots every 3 days for 8 consecutive times. she is still very up and active but I can see her resting her head on the logs higher than her body meaning I know she's having some trouble breathing.
is there anything else I can do? currently soaking her in some tap water right now for the past 15 Mins hoping it'll loosen any thick mucus up. I have not seen any more drool yet. the vet told me she heard some problems in her tract but it wasn't the worst case she has seen. said I was lucky to have seen her drool and caught it early, when I was holding her bc usually with reptiles you don't know they're sick until there is a serious problem.
is there anything else I can do for her? not experienced with a sick snake.
