Eye infection?

Hey guys, new here. I'm reaching out because I'm having an issue with my king snake, Larry.

I adopted him last summer and things have been kinda funky ever since. Recently his right eye got super swollen. Looks like there's fluid between the actual lens/eye cap. I took him to the vet a week ago today, she said it could either be an infection or lack of vitamins. He was given a dose of vitamins, was told to add multivitamin to his food and he is on antibiotics(Tazicef) for 2 weeks by injection.

It doesn't seem to be getting any better. I still have 2 doses left so I'm holding out it kicks in, but I'm at a loss as what it could be. I grew up raising snakes/geckos and never once had to take one to a vet for any reason. Its very bizarre to be having so many issues with my guy.

Temps and humidity in tank are more than fine and consistent. He drinks regularly and eats 3 adult mice a week. He's about 4 1/2 feet long.

It wont let me post a photo, so if anyone wants to enlighten me how to do that, ha.

Thanks,

Mike,
