    Do you have pictures? When was her last shed? Were you(they) given fluids in addition to the antibiotics (just repeating question asked above)? Does she look dehydrated?

    She doesn't not look dehydrated but they did not treat with fluids. Her last shed was over a month ago maybe two. But she hasn't eaten in a month. I will defiantly ask the vet to change antibiotics to baytrill in the mean time the culture is getting done. And will ask him about her hydration. I also have some f10 on order to treat my Other snakes just incase. Not sure if it will help her at all. I Dontthink it will hurt thou will it?

    F10 is a really good cleaner, it certainly won't hurt just make sure you follow the directions

    Re: Sick snakes not getting better

    I'm gonna be using it in a repti fogger to nebulize. What I've see recommended is 3 to 4 ml in a liter of water on high for 20 min then off for 20 minutes leaving the snake in for 40 minutes total

    I believe the recommendation for F10 nebulization is actually 1:250 (http://f10biocare.co.uk/as.html). I have used this at a 2% concentration with distilled water, without any ill-effects, when I couldn't get to a vet quickly or had only a minor RI.

    Even if the F10 itself doesn't have an impact, it will give you a temporary bump in humidity, which could help if she is slightly dehydrated.

    Yeah 1:250 is 4ml in a liter of water. I'm praying it will help alittle.

    Sorry for your situation.

    I wish you and your snakes the best of luck, it sucks that you had to loose one though.

    Hopefully it was just its time to go to snake heaven, not due to the vets negligence, which from what I've read, can be a possibility.

    I never have been good at the metric system. That's why I included the site link. Best of luck with her, and please keep us posted.
