I agree with you, if you have seen progress already, and are confident in your vets skills, then try to ignore the bashes. I have always been told to wait 10-14 days after a regurge also, and did it for a while, but when my regurger just wouldn't quit, someone suggested trying right after a regurge (like 2 days after) and when I did that, she kept it down. So I'm pretty sure it depends on the snake, and why/how much the snake regurged.
I personally wouldn't keep two snakes, especially of different species, together, but it works for some people. I would say after this, maybe she was unhappy and the stress is what lowered her immunity and allowed her to get this illness. I would also keep them seperated from now on, but that's your decision to make, not mine.
Paul-I've seen good knowledgable replies from you, but bashing a vet that who saw the snake in question is a little over the top. You don't know what experience this vet has, he could be an excellent herp vet. You don't know unless you see him too. IMO ----- Dianne
