    Re: Ball Python Egg Bound

    SatanicIntention, the vet said today he could aspirate the contents but the problem is with her uterus. The egg that's down at her tail now looks all weird, you can poke around and see the egg BUT he says her uterus is in the way.

    Re: Ball Python Egg Bound

    When you look at her vent, can you see white egg matter or do you see pink tissue?

    If you see pink tissue, then unfortunately she may need to be humanely put to sleep(not left at home to slowly pass away..).

    If you see white egg, then soak her more and gently massage the egg out. DO NOT do this if you see pink tissue.

    I see white (egg) behind black, green, and yuck stuff, (looks like fish guts). Sorry, I hate to be gross but that's what it looks like.

    How often should I soak her?


    Edit to add, I see nothing pink.

    Re: Ball Python Egg Bound

    Is the egg firm or has it already ruptured? If it has ruptured, she needs to go on an antibiotic regimen so she doesn't get septicemia(internal infection that gets into the blood stream).

    Does she have any drainage coming from her vent?

    Yes, she has drainage coming from her vent. No egg that we know of has been ruptured.

    Re: Ball Python Egg Bound

    The egg is firm. I am going to soak her again now and hopefully it will help. The other eggs from the xray are way UP in her, nowhere near her vent.

    Re: Ball Python Egg Bound

    OK, I am soaking her, she has now got 2 eggs down toward her tail. I see the 3rd one about midway of her body.

    Please pray she will be ok. I am going to my regular Vet in the morning and ask him to make some calls for me.

    Re: Ball Python Egg Bound

    I'd soak her for a good hour in a rubbermaid tub with a top on it. Make the water pretty warm, 85-90 degrees, and put it back in her enclosure. Make sure it's dark so she can relax.

    If the eggs haven't ruptured, then gently massage the ones further up in her body, down. If you get any resistance, stop.

    I would take her back to the vet and make him aspirate the remaining eggs, as well as put her on an injectable antibiotic regimen. He needs to work with you and not just send the snake home to die...

    Re: Ball Python Egg Bound

    Thank you very much. I am soaking her now. I am calling my regular vet in the morning and see if he can make some calls. All of you have been very helpful and encouraging to me.

    Have a great nite,

    Faith

    Re: Ball Python Egg Bound

    Faith,
    Where are you at in Mississippi? I am in Louisiana, and if it is not too far, and you cannot find a vet to aspirate that egg, I can do it for you. Just let me know.
