I have experience with ball pythons going off feed for longer and did not have to force feed. Having it for a short time and getting new enclosure could mean it just needs time to adjust. Reluctant feeders eventually eat fine once they settle in their new home. Also, Pink belly scales is early sign of shedding, and many but not all ball pythons refuse to eat at this stage.
The vet seems unfamiliar with ball python care. I suggest you find one with herp experience and get a second opinion before subjecting your snake to extreme yet totally unnecessary treatments.
