Will my python ever recover?

Okay, I will try feeding 5% of her body weight for now and see if helps. It definitely will not harm her correct?

Can I have a little more information please, how often do you recommend feeding 5% of the body weight? I assume to feed (2) smaller rats that equal 5% instead on (1) very large rat, correct?

I ended up feeding her (2) large rats last night, which totaled 6-7% of her body weight. That was a bit much for her and I won't do that again. Hopefully, she will be okay. got some medium rats on the way.

If you look at the guidelines for younger snakes they advise feeding 10% of the snake's body weight but those are for growing youngsters. Feeders at 5% of the snake's body weight every 10-14 days are fine. Feeding a bit more won't hurt either, just extend out the next feeding date a bit.

She got a lot of probiotics last night. I put a bunch on the rats themselves and inside their oral cavity. Although, the probiotics get very sticky, I think she had a very hard time eating them because it this. She may have even bit herself a little bit in the process. Should I continue giving her the probiotics?

You don't necessarily have to put a lot of probiotics on each feeder, though I usually just lightly dust a bit on a damp feeder.
