Hello Ulrich,
If you re-read my initial post I suggested that he try to see if the snake responds without intervention but if the snake deteriorate to seek out a vet. However in my experience if the animals are given the right environmental conditions and left alone (not continually subjected to stress) they tend to recover quite well.
I'm a bit old school and my faith in vets isn't too strong. I could tell you several stories of mal-practice and misdiagnosis from "specialist" vets in my area.
I've been through what you're describing in your previous post and agree with you for the most part.
As you mention RI's should be taken very seriously.
All the best,
Dominic
