While this Dr. Kryder may the expert, I am always cautious of doctors of any type who prescribe antibiotics for undiagnosed ailments. I'm assuming that the other vets prescribed the Baytril on his recommendation?Originally Posted by Coils
I am not sure if there is, there might be ONE more at another clinic, but I'm not certain. I know Kryder is good though and -would- like to see him about this. He has taken care of my other snake without a problem and seems to know very much about what he is doing. He prescribed the baytril because he suspected there might be some sort of infection inside(was actually said, possibly something about a cyst/s?, but I am so tired right now and had a long day, it's hard to recall what he said in the message) and wants her on it until he sees her just to see if there is any change at all between then and Friday.
And yes, they looked in both the mouths and supposedly said "nothing was wrong that -they- could see" but had to compare a good mouth to maybe a bad one as I stood there. So I am not exactly sure they even knew what they were looking at. I will be asking Kryder to check that again for me which he probably will himself -anyway- without needing to possibly injure one of my other ball pythons.
And no, as of right now they are not exactly certain what is wrong with her. The two vets I saw today had absolutely NO idea, but Kryder said he couldn't say just looking at the -pictures- and again, needs to see her and wants to when he comes back.
I hope everything works out and goes ok, and thank you so much for your help and comments on the whole thing. I actually printed out what you had typed and brought it in to show them, but only ONE vet actually read it and then, yes, supposedly found nothing wrong with the mouth.
Frankly, at this point you're not even sure that there is something wrong with your snake. For all you know that's just the way her eyes are. The fact that she is feeding normally and has no other symptoms to indicate she has impairment or irritation with her eyes should not be forgotten.
If you can get a second opinion, I suggest you go that route.
