The one snake i ever lost was i fed one of my snakes a live rat and the rat killed my snake i was young and my first snake.. I have rehabilitated 100's of snakes from corns to retics and my methods work you name it i had it belly burn where there was puss comeing out i rescued him a boa he was almost bbq i saved him my way, belly rot, saved him my way, rot mouth RI saved them my way, eye capes multipul ones saved them my way i had one so bad the eye was dead underneath and i removed the eye and it healed no problem.. , im more hands on with my animals, the only time i ever took a snake to a vet was when i had burm swallow a piece of wood and i waited but it wouldn't come out yes i took him to a vet and it was lodged in his intestine, im not saying vets are bad but reptiles dont need medicine or vet help for every little thing ,and i think it will lower their life span. But again please don't take my advice thank you good luck with your little guy!!!!
For thousands of years ppl have done whatever they could to fix what ails them and their animals and they SWORE by it. But you know when I have migraine I don't drill a hole in my head, I take a Tylenol. People are living longer than ever because there were willing to learn and use more and more modern treatment methods.

While your animals my have survived and recovered with the treatments you described above, many of the methods you mentioned have been proven to not be the best or most effective method. Nothing helps RI like antibiotics, period. Antibiotics kill RI bacteria.
