I was curious if any meds were given for this RI? , and if so, what it was. If I remember correctly, this python was also given ivermectin for the mites. There is contradictory evidence on the safety of Ivomec use with snakes, and most agree that the risks outweigh the benefits with this type of chemical treatment. There are other more effective and safer methods to deal with mites. That said, if this vet was using Ivomec, that is what generated my first question about any antibiotics that may have been used. If so, do you know the antibiotic used, and the dosage that was given?
