Nakoa Update 2

So sorry to hear he's still not doing very well. If he's eating dead prey, have you tried adding digestive enzymes to his food? (Best way is to push them into the oral cavity- aka mouth- of the rodent so the snake doesn't smell anything different & have any reason to reject the meal.) It makes some sense to me that his digestion would be poor if he's underweight, because production of digestive enzymes requires good nutrition, so it's a vicious circle.

Can I assume you also tried giving him probiotics in his meals?

Regurgitation is certainly a big concern though & without knowing what your vet has tested for, nor what other treatments he may already have had, I don't know what else to suggest. It could be something like crypto that's slow to show up, I suppose? If it's crypto, there's clearly not much you can do, so I hope that's not it. And your vet has a point- we can't "win" them all & maybe you need to focus on your own issues & "the big picture" now? Sick snakes can be so tough to deal with- they don't always give us enough clues.

Im thinking of adding digestive enzymes to see if it will help him.
He is getting probiotics yes but that doesn't seem to be making any difference but he is bringing up his food 50% of the time and then having to give him 2 weeks off to heal its doing him no good at all maybe with the enzymes as well that might be better, can you recommend a good one?

he gets blood and fecal/swaps etc often has been tested for crypto always came back negative but it is another thing that does worry me with that being what it is.

He is doing better in himself he is more active he has a habit of pushing his water bowl around his enclosure so had to give him a heavier one, he gets out on the bed for exercise when he isn't digesting or healing and when he has had enough he tries to hide under my hand and sleep and he is really sweet but a real stress for us right now
