Sick Snake (AGAIN)



Hi Guys,

Ok... story with my snake (Dendroaspis Polylepis - Black Mamba), she is about 70cm long now. Been on antibiotics for 10 days because of mouth rot & sneezing, her mouth was also a bit swollen. She was given very small doses of baytril each day (IM) & gently swabbed off with cotton wool damp with some stuff the vet gave me. Now (5 days after the Baytril dose ended) she is coughing... any advice?

I have Flagyl, Panacur & Ivomec if any of those would help. The vet I consult with says I should start another 10 day baytril course, but the person that sold the snake to me says I must take out her water bowl and see what happens when the air dries. He also said I shouldn't have given the snake anti-biotics as it would mess up its liver and lungs.


I would really appreciate any help.



Regards Nigel
