The other CP is still okay. She still has fluid in the back of her throat but is moving around a lot more, which is a hopeful sign. I don't think the antibiotics has helped but I don't want to take her back to the vet as I KNOW she'll say she has IBD (because my baby died) and I know that it isn't IBD (my vet is obsessed with IBD and apparently tells everyone their reptiles have it, probably because the biopsies cost so much...) I'm going to try and feed her tonight and hope for the best.
I totally understand your fear of hearing about IBD. IMHO, I would go back anyway and try another course of antibiotics if you think she is still sick. Try another med. OR, find a new herp vet that has a great rep. I was so thankful that ours prescribed Zithromax (oral is easier than I thought with four hands - if you need tips, let me know). That is what finally kicked it in the butt.

Good luck. I will be sending healing thoughts your way. Again, I am SO sorry about your other snake. I don't know what I would do if one of mine died. Hang in there!
