I am in Eupora, that's near Starkville.
My vet gave me baytril injections today. He gave me a big dose for today and a smaller dose for the next 6 days. He says that is a safe antibiotic.
Your thoughts?

Antibiotics will fight any infection that has occurred however what of the eggs? Did he offer any solution for them.
Re: Ball Python Egg Bound
I soaked her for a long time this morning. I was hoping she would use the bathroom but she hasn't yet. She still has a lot of fire in her. One egg is down near the vent, the other one has come down a lot. I can't feel anything else.
I do not have any help this afternoon so I will have to wait until my hubbie gets home to try and get the egg thats closest out. I plan to soak her again in a few minutes.
Anything else I should do?

No, he is actually clueless about snakes but he said he would help me in any other way he could. I believe I can get them out of her but it seems the stool is in my way.
Re: Ball Python Egg Bound
I wouldn't attempt aspirating her your self unless you have done it before.
Call Dr. Lenard Duesie at 1-662-324-0404 he is the former head of exotic vet medicine at MSU he will help you I've call and he knows your problem.
Hope this helps

i had the same thing happen with one of my female tarantulas.i never bred her but she laid an eggsac(unfertilized eggs) and then she ate the sac to restore her nutrients.sometimes they'll lay eggs for no appearant reason.
sorry to hear what you're going through.

The Vet I took her to yesterday was employed at Ms State for years and he recently opened his private practice. he is a herp vet. I wasn't impressed with him. He has a great name but to tell me to take her home and let her die was not impressive to me. So, I turned to you guys for help.
I got one egg out of her last night and I believe I can get the others out the same way. I would not attempt to aspirate the egg by myself.
Re: Ball Python Egg Bound
Best of luck, my prayers are with you. I had an egg bound Beardie, it's very sad :(

He is the vet that I took her to yesterday. :(
He told me she most likely wouldn't make it thru surgery.
I will fight this to the very end, I will not give up. If she dies it will not be because I didn't try and give it my ALL.
