I've had an animal get a resp. infection & the animal caged with the sick animal also got sick. The same germ that causes mouth rot also causes resp. infections. A boa can get it's mouth in defication,this sets up mouth rot. If left untreated,it'll lead to a resp. infection. Also, cold temps & drafts will cause resp infections and if you feed live & the rodent bites or scratches the snakes mouth,it'll set up mouth rot sometimes that can turn to a resp infection. What antibiotic did your Vet say they were going to use on your animal. Just my opinions only.
Good Luck,
