Gotta run to class but appointment went pretty well. He said the only thing he'd have done differently would have been to have me injecting meds instead of oral. We are done with meds and can try feeding soon. As long as she eats ok everything should be right on course. I feel much better abt everything. You guys rock

Update
So juju popped the suture, I found it hanging off yesterday so I clipped off the hanging bits and today when I tried to clip the remaining knot it came right out. I'm glad cuz that knot left in the lip hurt every time juju bumped it on something (which being blind on that side happened roughly every 3 seconds). I dabbed a tiny bit of alcohol like I'd do for myself. Idk what else I'd do. It needs to heal where the suture came out but it looks better than I expected. Here's a current pic

I'd run it by the vet, maybe, but I'd do a couple betadine soaks, where you dilute it to weak tea color, and let him soak in it. The thing with snakes is you should soak them in plain water first, because otherwise they drink the betadine soak. So you have to make sure they aren't thirsty.
Triple antibiotic is good too, but it gets everything stuck to it.
I think she looks great. This will be a good example for the future, if anyone needs to be reassured that the lip will go back to normal!
I don't know if snakes enjoy being handled, but it might be nice for her to just have some time when she isn't being "treated." Sit and watch TV with her and let her just cuddle with you.
