Are you prepared to do this?
You have other reptiles, quarantine this one or you could be treating them all for this
Vet taken care of, he is ordering Batyril and should come the beginning of the week. Hopefully its not viral cause then it would just be a waste of time sad to say..

Re: Is my Ball Python Ok??!?!??? HELP
He was given his injection of Baytril according to his weight, how the vet says he need oral injections of a type of Baytril for oral? Is this correct or should he be needle injected?

If not bacterial, it could also be viral or fungial and can also be a symptom of a greater problem.
If antibiotics do not work, then your vet should do blood work and a culture to find out the cause.
Myself, I would get the culture first, the medications used to treat an ri are not benign. Batryl is hard on the kidneys, but when weighed against a bacterial RI, its worth it.
