Internal issue, some stinky stuff oozing from vent?
I thought I would ask here, in case anyone with knowledge about this is still active... I noticed just now that one of my ball pythons (Drizzle) has what I'm guessing is some kind of bacterial infection inside the vent/cloaca. The vent easily opens a little when I pull her tail back, and inside the vent is brown colored instead of clean like my other ball pythons. Some brown stuff oozes out every once in awhile. It stinks and smells like a bacterial infection. (The consistency of the stuff and the smell is like when my dog gets an ear infection)
Does anyone have experience with this and know what it is called? Would antibiotics be able to treat it? My local exotic vets don't seem to really know what they are doing, the last time I went, so I thought I would ask first. Especially since this seems to be something uncommon... Ugh I'm not looking forward to paying someone $200 for something that doesn't work.
