Good news. Yesterday, he ate 3 large mice after an antibiotic shot on Thursday. Seems like he's on the mend.

Good news indeed.

Hopefully the antibiotic injected helps the snake long term. Quite often vets use a broad antibiotic like a large fishing net in hopes of catching what's causing the issue.
In the mean time they take a culture of the bacteria and test to see what would work best. (Like using a particular fishing line/lure to catch a specific fish) They then continue with the same antibiotic because it will do the job or switch them.

If the issue comes back ensure this is done so as to not having to keep coming back. If the vet won't do this procedure (it's quite easy) then find another vet.

BIGT, glad to hear that it wasn't to serious. Appetite returned and that's a good thing. Cool.
