Re: Abscess?

My advice as a vet in training is not to offer him ANY food, medicated or not. I believed it's around 90-95% of the snake's immune system is in it's gut, and when you add food it takes the body's focus off the infection and onto digestion. But just make sure everything's sterile as possible, maybe even change the toweling every day if he's calm enough.
