UPDATE on my boa with the RI infection

casey31179 Apr 08, 2005 08:51 AM

Sorry its been so long since my last post about him but I've been very very busy but I wanted everyone to know he is doing awesome!! The Baytril seemed to do the trick he has no signs of the Respitory infection and he ate yesturday for the first time in 6 weeks which I think is a very good sign.
As for the culture of his lung that was taken they couldn't get anything to grow. The vet said that he didn't think the spot was big enough the scrap so they didn't get enough bacteria to grow. Guess I caught it before it turned to full blown pnemonia. But had I not gotten him from the pet store when I did It could have been alot worse for him.
His mites are gone as well and he has had a normal shed! I am so happy that he is doing well! He is just a great snake!

Thanks to all who gave me advice on his situation!
Casey

Glad to hear he's doing better. A little TLC goes a long way.
