"I also have several other reptile medicine books, including Douglas Mader's "Reptile Medicine and Surgery - Second Edition", which I believe was a $150 book when I bought it a few years ago."

Yep, same one I have. It does have alot of good in it but I still think its dry as hell to read.
Ended up reading further into crypto finding in which all the medications recommended have side effects like kidney damage. Sounds like one of the many medication commercials with the disclaimers that scare you after the tell you how miraculous the new drug is. (anal bleeding, death...We may never know it in creases suicidal thoughts)

Sad to say the meds that would have an effect against the crypto would seriously weaken the animal in other ways. While I hate to give up on anything, its for that reason, the crypto or the cure killing the snake (ironic as it is) I may have to agree that a case of crypto is grim.
Mike.
