Awesome man!.....that is the best decision you could have ever made!



Yes, let us know how things go!



Just a little recap on exactly how the Flagyl combats the bacteria........



The medication kills BOTH good AND bad bacteria within the gut, so the waiting for a good wek or more like I said earlier gives the stomach a chance to regain it's good stomach flora to aid in proper digestion, as well as giving the animal time to replenish it's stomach acids to the correct ph level, along with the eloctrolytes it lost during all this.



Glad this helped you make the right informed decision. And while you're at it at the vets, he/she can do a fecal floatation to see if there are any worm parasites that also need treating. Panacur(Fenbendazole) is administered at the rate of 50 to 100 mg. per kg. just in case the vet is wondering about these dosages.



These are fairly inexpensive proceedures and will definitely save the snakes life.



good luck!
