I posted another thread about this a few weeks ago but now I can't find it. Anyway here is the deal.
A almost a month ago I noticed one of my ball pythons had bubbles and the other signs of a respitory infection. Removed him from my rack system and called the vet immediately. the next morning i brought him there. He gave me a prescription For fortaz and said I caught it early since he was still very active and everything. This is a vet I trust he has scene all of our guinea pigs one of our parakeets one of our Leopard geckos and my western hognose. He gave me 5 shots to administer myself every 72 hours. After the 5 shots were up we went back and he said there wasn't really any improvement but it wasn't worse so he gave me 5 more. He said we could do a lung cleaning and a culture which he recommended unfortunately it cost 800 dollars which I don't have at all. I just administered his 8th shot yesterday. Now my question is how long can it take to show sings of improvement? I gave him a bigger house with higher heat for less stress iv been soaking him almost every day for at least 20 mins I bought a nebulizer that I'm going to use with saline for him which was all recommended by the vet. The antibiotics brought on a shed which he said would happen. The only thing is he dosent look that much different excpt occasionally I get some green mucus out of his mouth. He won't eat but He's still strong and active.
Basically I just want to know from people who have experienced this if I should be worried and if it will start to go away soon. And none of my others have gotten anything or are showing signs of anything.
Thanks in advance
