Sorry to hear that your little girl has a problem, but she looks good in the pictures. Unfortunately, I'd be quite surprised if the tail section that was constricted will regain blood flow. We can only hope, but steel yourself to the fact that the section may no longer be viable tissue, and may have to be removed. Snakes with that problem have lived a long time, since it doesn't affect their health once removed. As far as pulmonary (lung) abscess, I have never heard it said that it is common in snakes. The cause is typically due to bacteria entering the lung. But I'm not a vet, so let us know what he decides after further examination and what if any, treatment is recommended. I hope I don't sound too negative.
