My Woma python I have had only a little over a month is very sick. I did what any responsible pet owner would have done, at the first signs of illness, some respiratory sounds, and a little excess mouth mucus, I took him right away to a herp vet. I found her through herp vet connection. I had only had him 3 weeks at that time. I had a culture done, which the first vet stated showed a staph infection. The Vet had me treat him with Baytril shots for 14 days, I thought he was getting better. Than, just the other day, I noticed some really scary barking noises coming from him. Also some squeaks. He had no visible mucus, and I didn't see any open mouth breathing, but I took him right away to another vet, because the one I had used before was not in, and I felt it couldn't wait. So, here's the news, I am waiting for another culture, but he has the beginning signs of mouth rot, ( why the other vet missed that I have no clue), and very serious pneumonia. The doctor told me, he might not make it. I am stumped how it could have progressed to this,as he was getting antibiotic therapy. Did the vet misdiagnose his illness to begin with? I am very strict of the temps, keeping the warm end around 92, cool end in the low 80's . Of course now, the vet told me to keep him even warmer. The new vet took x-rays, and a white blood cell count, he was much more thorough. He isn't acting very sick, even though I know he is, and actually seems very active, but I am sick with worry. It's 50/50 at this point. Anyway, just thought I'd get my saddness off my chest. Please pray for him.
