I didn't say there was nothing he could do. Why everyone is so ready to attack a vet I guess I can understand, but I have YET to be steered wrong by him.

I have been going to him for years now and he is the best one for herps in this area and I would trust him with every single one of my exotics. He knows everything they need environment wise ect without having to go "look it up" like those other crappy vets out there.

Believe me I know, I have had vets says(when he was out of town) that even THEY didn't know what was wrong with the animal, let me go look around ONLINE when I did that the day before MYSELF! So sorry, I like him a lot, trust him, and will defend him in what he is doing.

I didn't get the exact name of the antibiotic, (took in multiple animals with lots of questions today) but I asked what it was being given for/what it would do exactly and it will help clear the infection and should reduce the bloating if she makes it until Monday. I am giving it to her as injections until then and I am supposed to call him with the news that day, I am also supposed to call him if anything else happens BEFORE Monday.

She is very very skinny despite having eaten before (missed about 4 weeks NOW though) so it IS very likely she wont pull through this whole thing not only because the infection, but because of her not being able to eat in time.
