I agreed to it but he didn't push that I need it. We almost left with nothing.

    So should I just not give it and monitor? Could I make him sick by not administering properly? I thought I did it the way he showed me but I must have done something wrong. Obviously.

    Im not trying to be mean. Seriously. I'm just worried for him because of the medicine bubbling out hi nostril after I gave it. I'm sorry if I came off as being mean.

    You didn't come off mean at all, just concerned f9r your snake, which is admirable.

    I, luckily, have never had a sick snake and have never had to medicate any. But I know that orally medicating a snake is like shoveling sand against the tide.

    And quite frankly, I trust Deborah 100000%. I would be willing to bet my house she's more experienced and more knowledgable about snakes than that vet.
