I have a 1 year old BP that I've had for about 6 weeks now. I noticed some popping when he breathed on 8-20-07. I took him to the vet on the same day.

The vet said it was the very beginning stages of a RI and he was shocked the I caught it so quickly. The infection wasn't in his lungs yet. It was just in his head and wasn't that bad at all. Just a little bit of mucus in the mouth and a couple of very small red spots in the mouth. The vet gave him an injection of AB's and sent me home with 4 more to give over the next 2 weeks.

The snake has had 3 injections so far. I had him out today and noticed when he yawned that there wasn't any bubbles or mucus built up in his mouth like before. However, while I was holding him he was kind of blowing his nose every now and then. When he did this there was a small bubble that came out of one nostril.

So, my question is this...could he be blowing out what is left of the infection? Kind of like the when we have a sinus infection and have been on AB's for a few days, then start blowing our nose because the infection is breaking up?

Since he only has 2 more injections left do you think that will be enough to get him healthy again? The next 2 injections will be given on Wed. & Sat.
