Help Ball Python tore scales

[Bogertophis]

Update. Everything is going well. The antibiotic shot was not too bad, she just flinched a little.
Bogertophis, you were correct about the shedding, or its a coincidence lol, I took her out to apply the cream and she is getting ready to shed. I let her soak before I applied the cream, hopefully, that will make shedding as easy as possible for her. I will probably give her a soak every other day until she sheds.

Did the vet advise soaking her? I wouldn't do that unless the vet encourages you to do so, because that wound is apt to soften & allow an infection to set in.

(misting would be safer, with the wound covered, but I'd ask about that too) Otherwise, I'm glad to hear it's going well, & yes, healing in snakes means more
frequent shedding, lol.
