Most vets are probably not "qualified" for tube feeding a snake neither. They will just wing it, just like you would have to do. But the vet will charge you money for the effort, regardless of their experience level (or lack thereof).

When you keep animals, especially wild types, you often need to become your own expert in fields you never, ever, expected to have to walk through.

It is really up to you to save your animal. You may have to just man up and accept that you will need to force feed this animal just to keep it alive and HOPE it's own innate feed response will kick in sooner or later. If I had a dollar for every snake I have had to do that with over all the years I had snakes, I would be having one of my servants serving me tea in my mansion right now. It just comes with the territory.
