Re: Bubbly mouth

so the good news....your vet did a culture and is tailoring antibiotic therapy appropriately. P. rettgeri is a pretty widespread bug. Causes a lot of stomach stuff in people. It's found terrestrially and aquatically. Zosyn (piperacillin-tazobactam) is something we use in humans for the run of the mill infection.

the bad news...it does seem to be resistant to a lot of antibiotics (it sounds like your vet did a sensitivity on the culture as well, so he/she will know what abx will actually work.)
Interstingly, P. rettgeri is usually reisistant to the quinolones....so the old knee-jerk action of "just give Baytril" won't work. Just pissing in the wind. This is exactly why you gotta isolate an organism....for appropriate therapy (which may or may not include antibiotics).

I'm hoping for good things for your snake Jrich!! Keep us updated!
