Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Just keep in mind the vets work for us. Just tell him you want them or go to a different vet.

If the snake is bubbling over, so to speak (relatively thin, clear secretions, with bubbles...that are visible at the snakes mouth, and may drip/dribble out), it may be temporarily appropriate; but remember that they are a tropical species and basic husbandry requires maintenance of moderate humidity. Dry it out too much and you will end up with problems.

My thoughts exactly. There is something to be said that the overall condition of the animals may not allow them to be given injections right now. Without seeing them it would be hard to tell.

Good luck on getting them back in shape. That's a total shame.
As for the vet, I had mine do the same to me once with a rescue that was messed up like yours, but He gave Me a reason of awaiting test results. Some AB's work better for different things I guess. Actually the vet ended up keeping her, so she got a good home after.
Man, I sure hope everything works out for you. Have you dealt with stomatitis before? How bad is it? (this case)

That is an understatement, lol. Some antibiotics are broad spectrum, meaning they do ok against a wide variety of bacteria...others are very narrowly focused (ie they work on gram negative bacilli). There are also several different classifications of ABX; based on a combination of how they work, and what they treat. If you pick an antibiotic with limited or no effectiveness against a particular pathogen, it plain ol' doesn't work.
