I've had the same thing happen to one of our burms-it was devastating and I had felt horrible but the vet told us these things do happen. I am so sorry but you took him to the vet and that speaks volumes how much you care for your snake.
FYI, on another thread, I saw someone say you can use a triple antibiotic ointment, but not Neosporin. Here is the link:
