So, I have a ball python that I thought had a suspected respiratory infection cause he was whistling. He's been whistling for months, but he hasn't shown any other signs of an RI. I just assumed it was still in the early stages. He's a black pastel albino het pied.
I've been doing research and found that it's common in black pastels to have a duckbill, and that causes a deformity in the nostrils, causing the whistle. He does have a duckbill, his snout (is that right?) is a lot rounder than my 2 girls are. It in fact looks like a duckbill.
He has 2 more doses and his whistle hasn't gotten worse or better. Should I keep giving it to him or stop? I don't want to give him injections if nothing is wrong.
Thank you!
