I really am am not comfortable with that vets choice of treatment, and would recommend a second opinion with someone more reptile experienced.

Good luck!!

Pretty much what I told him right after cursing at him to find a herp vet. Was hoping someone lived close enough to be able to recommend one, because I'm about 6 hours away so any I would suggest are quite a bit of a drive for him. If not, I'm going to have him check for listings close to him.
