Please help if you can! :(

Hi,

I've written about my ETB health problems in the past, but since the antibiotics (Ceftazadime) were started 9 days ago, he seems to be looking worse. Please, if anyone has any advice/suggestions/ANYTHING... I'm starting to feel like I'm hitting a dead end with him.

We had blood work done on him on the 8th, which showed that he has a blood parasite he's had for a long time, and will always have. Not something he can pass on to other snakes, but something that sort of compromises his immune system permanently. That coupled with whatever infection this is (my vet thinks it's possible that it has to do with the prolapsing issues of late) has been taking it's toll on him.

The antibiotics don't seem to be helping though... he seems to be getting worse. The brown spots you can see in the pictures look almost like bruises up close, and they're all over his underside up until about midway, where he turns a clean yellow - total cut off. His top side has developed black spots all along his body, again only until about midway.

If anyone has anything at all, lay it on me.
