Well , went through a 3 week treatment of Ceftazidime injections every 3 days.... And she's still not better ... In fact took her to the vet today for Amikacin and saline for the nebulizer I bought, and he said she took a step backwards..![]()
So thats why we're going with a different treatment course. From the cultures I believe the 3 choice were Ceftazidime,Baytril, and Amikacin. Going with Amikacin in the neb and injections.
She's been "coughing" like she opens her mouth all the way suddenly and makes a weird noise , like she's trying to expel the mucus... Poor girl ... I feel so bad for her. He said he's only seen one other snake do it as violently as she does...It makes me jump.
He got a pretty big glob of thick yellowish mucus out of her mouth.
Before it was 80-90% survival rate, now hes not sure and won't say..
She refuses to eat and has lost 6g , not too bad but not great.
He thinks the nebulizer will hopefully help thin out the mucus ...
Not really looking so good though.
300.00 on vet fees so far . oh and now have to buy a new nebulizer because while gone my dog went nuts and destroyed it ..... brand new 80 dollar neb.... garbage..... ugh bad day.
But I'm not the one drowning in mucus so I shouldn't really complain....poor thing .
