    Can you find a vet that can help? Many petsmarts have vets open all day saturday and sunday. They often are NOT great but if you know what you want (i.e. injectible b vitamins) you can call and see if they can provide that. I would do my own research before going in (i.e. what they need, what dosage, needles, etc... as those vets are hit and miss but sure a heck of a lot cheaper than an emergency clinic on a weekend).

    There is one in Traverse City, MI about an hour away. Maybe they have a vet hospital that is open today. Even if it is NOT a b deficiency I really doubt if supplementing with vitamin b can do any harm, but of course I do not know. If it is an infection maybe fin dout how those are diagnosed, I would assume a non-herp vet will know about as much as you do so be prepared.

    Not sure if snakes can be given sub-q fluids for dehydration (maybe someone here can tell you) but if there is a way to tell if snakes are dehydrated and they can be given fluids I would find out about that too before going in.
