I have to say, that does sound a bit odd to me.
Ball Pythons don't always eat when stressed. And they want you to feed daily for a few days? I'm not so sure you would want the snake to constrict with these wounds?? Or that the snake would want to. The wounds are further back, so perhaps it may be ok. You probably also don't want the skin to get stretched right now, though, as it will with several meals inside.
I'd be afraid that the snake would refuse to eat, and then the meds are wasted.
Back when I did "rescue", I often medicated directly into the mouth. It wasn't that hard, really.
However, you should listen to your vet, if anything, you can call them and discuss the treatment further.
Keep the wounds clean, dabbing them with a cottonball soaked in a weak betadine solution will sanitize them. Other then that, keep the enclosure very clean.
Let us know how things are going
