IBD confirmed in my boa... what should I be expecting?

I would have something like a boid panel done from a place such as https://www.vetdna.com/ to determine exactly what your snake has before making a decision on what to do with her, as different groups are working with different viral diseases.

Also inclusions aren't necessarily indicative of IBD because other things can cause them. I had a boa that passed of cancer, verified via necropsy, that had inclusions caused by the cancer. She had been housed in the same room as several racks of ball pythons and stacks of other boas and retics for years - about 50 snakes total - so if she had IBD or even any viral infection as a carrier the other snakes should have been dropping like flies. Up until the cancer she had never been sick, never had an RI, never regurged, etc.

My vet said she didn't see anything she thought indicated cancer, but I also would hope they're wrong about IBD. That's also what got me is that I'm not seeing any of the "indicative" neurological signs like regurgitating, weight loss, or any twisting/stargazing, but that could also be because she's in early stages of the disease?

I'll be sure to check out more diagnostic options, I saw University of Florida also does testing specifically for IBD so maybe my vet can send samples there too.
