IBD RESULTS ARE IN - Pwilliams58
The vet called today. This was the first of 2 reports I will be recieving. Preliminary results indicate it is NOT IBD! They found the snake had a shrunken liver, lack of internal fat stores and and some discolouration around the gal bladder. The snake could be septic, meaning it had an infection which may or may not be contagious. They are continuing to do more brain slides to determine that. The vet says at this point I am pretty much in the clear. I will continue to maintain QT procedures with my newly acquired bumblebee, until I get the second report back. Thank you all for your continued support. She is mailing the report to me, and once it gets here I will scan, and post it.

Did you have a previous thread with details of the snakes death?

This is fantastic news! I'm so glad it didn't turn out to be IBD. *phew*
Continue the QT and you should be in the clear is just as good too! Let us know what they conclude about the 'disease'.

You know... I was glad to help - but I'm kind of surprised to hear that you still brought the bumblebee in when you knew you could possibly have an issue with IBD. Glad to hear that the results are positive so far, I'm glad you got that kind of piece of mind with sending the snake in for tests.

He didn't bring it in; he said it was at his sister's house
