It's amazing how flagyl increases the appetite of snakes!

This was suggested by my friend steve schmidt and seconded by my vet. The baytril was introduced to address some of the nasties not addressed by the flagyl.
Aeromonas hydrophilia being one.
Speckle once again is blood-free in her feces which is great but we must find out what is bleeding. I will not subject her to exploratory surgery. If my vet. acquires a long enough scope i will allow that. For now she is aggreesively feeding and gaining weight.
