Please stay away from non-vet prescribed meds.

I very much appreciate your opinion on this and everything else. I agree with you for the most part. Unfortunately, in my area there is a great lack of acceptable veterinary care for reptiles. The closest one willing to deal with a snake is 30 - 40 miles away and pretty sub-par when it comes to reptile care. I've been forced to learn how to treat my own animals because of this availability issue. But for anyone who has even semi-easy access to adequate veterinary take full advantage of it before self-treating.
Also Mykee I'm only going to resort to antibiotic injections as a last resort

I have quite a few other things to try first.
