Burmese with mouth rot

My buddy just got a burmese python with mouth rot. I was wondering if anyone had any info on treating it. The nearest vet that will even look at him is about an hour and half away. Was just wondering if there is some medicine that can be purchased over the counter. Thanks for any help.

If it's visible, the infection is also probably systemic which is only treatable with antibiotic injections gotten from a vet. What part of Illinois are you in?

I am in springfield IL. The nearest places i could find a vet is ST Louis and Chicago. I wish he would just give me the snake so i can get it taken care of. I don't think he wants to take it to the vet so maybe he will finally give it to me.

He should get systemic antibiotics, but we also debride them every other day with nolvasan (chlorhexidine solution) which you may be able to find OTC. IF you can find it you could also try silvadene ointment after you clean it out real good. And by debride I mean get ALL THE PUS outta there! Clean it really good. Hope the snake gets better.
