Will my python ever recover?

Yes, I did. Although, I stopped after a while since there was no improvement.

So maybe it wasn't enough? As previously discussed, antibiotics harm both good and bad bacteria- & the good bacteria is essential to digest their food.

Think about it: This snake had a lot of medical treatment- that affects their health, & it's not always without harm. With snakes, it's a fine line between getting them well or making them worse off. Some of the worst outcomes I've seen in snakes are where the vet used multiple medications* on them, especially when given/used simultaneously. Snakes are more delicate than they seem- they don't handle this stuff well, not like some other pets that vets may do this with. It might have something to do with them being so stoic & hard to read also- it's hard to know when it's too much- until it's too late. Also, change (improvement) can be very slow in snakes- like "watching paint dry".

*And granted, snakes where a vet gave multiple meds were very sick to start with, but I'm just saying that's my impression- that simultaneous meds given to snakes often seem to backfire. Note, I'm a long time keeper, not a vet, not a vet tech. Just offering my impressions though, because I've seen a lot, & question plenty. I often remind others that it's far easier to keep a snake healthy than to get them well again if they get sick. FYI, I've had a number of snakes live into their mid-20's. I've been at this a while.
