Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted. I took on a rescue carpet python tonight. She is in dire need of medical attention. It looks like she has a severe case of mouth rot and or a RI which has caused her head to swell to the point where I cannot see her nose holes and she has swelling of the top of her head which has almost entirely engulfed her eye on the right side. I am going to take her to the vet as soon as I can get her in but with the thanksgiving holiday that may not be until Friday or Monday.
My question is:
1. has anyone else seen a snake recover from something this severe?
2. what do you all think it looks like and have you ever had experience with it?
3. is there something I can do for her at home to make her more comfortable until I can get to the vet?

thank you all in advance, any info you can give me is greatly appreciated. I have included the best pictures I could get of the damage.
(also she is quarantined in a different area of my house no where near my other herps.)
