Did my vet just kill my snake?

[Artic_exotics]

Thanks for all the good will guys,

Just wanted to say that Arctic has survived!

Needless to say, I will not be returning there. The vets office "decided not to charge" me for his visits. I was like "you dont say" in a highly sarcastic voice. Then i said I would appreciate it if you could put that in writing for me, only to find that they couldnt find the account number for the visit that day. apparently it had conveniently been erased. So i told the local herp society everything that happened, and now its stickied so everyone will see it, so i doubt he gets away with it just scott free like that.

Tried to bring him the next morning to another vet the next town over, who i had to convince the receptionist that he was harmless, but she eventually discussed it with the vet, who agreed to discuss the case with me over the phone. Results of that were happily the same advice that you all gave, which was soaks, watch for neurological symptoms, and more or less pray. She also answered the question over whether or not to continue the baytril treatment. the answer was "well he got the entire 10 day course in one day" so definitely no.

Its been a few days now, and so far i havent seen anything to raise alarm, other than he drinks a fair amount more, but he has defecated once since then (in the bath lol) and it seems normal.

He has stopped the whistling noise, and i noticed last night he slept with his head at the same level as his body. Good signs for sure. We're still using the vetericyn to treat the rub, and im noticing that the darker areas look more pink, and the pink areas are starting to look lighter, as if the white is rebuilding. So fingers crossed that this will be the last of his troubles.

For those who may be wondering, the guy i got him from never did write me back.... no surprise there. And i was only trying to warn him to check his collection for others who may be sick too. oh well. feel for his snakes, but his loss really.

anyway, hopefully ill be able to post some progress pics up here soon.

Thanks to everyone whose heart went out to my little guy while hes been going through this nonsense.
