I purchased a boa out of pitty, who hasa badcase of mouth rott. Any suggestions on meds or any treatment?

Thanks, Landon

Go to a vet (it's a pain to find a herp vet!) I don't know what it is called, but it looks like windex. It isn't that expencive and it works wonderfully! A friend of mine's snake had mouthrott really bad and he used this type of med for a week and it cleared up. There are plenty of things you can buy in pet stores too, they just take longer. Also, the windex stuff works great for respritory infections and when they have compound sheds.

I am not sure what I know what the windex stuff is, and we live in the country so all we have are livestock docs.
But I was wondering if I can give him Penecillin? I dunno, but thanks for the info. Surley I can find something on the net to buy for it

i use that and it sure does look like windex...i clean the mouth rot out with an ear swab that is covered in the solution and then after the moth rot is taken out i once again put some of the solution on with an ear swab.. i dilute it with a little bit of water also ... this stuff is also good to help with bad sheds .. hope that helps
