    snake after vet visit

    so my snake recently just received a bite from a rat (my bad i will only feed prekilled) in her neck, she is a burm and I decided to take her to a vet which the vet give her an antibiotic few minutes after she was looking very dizzy and seems off (doesn't grip right/ loose, stargazing and falls asleep). What should i do ? let her be? when should i feed her? because tomorrow supposed to be her feeding day and she already skip a meal last week need help!!

    Was this a qualified reptile vet that you took your snake to?? You may also want to post exactly what shot they gave her.

    Call the vet ASAP. That is not normal. Don't worry about trying to feed, holding off until she is better won't hurt her.

    Re: snake after vet visit

    Sounds like an adverse reaction to whatever was given. Yes, Please get her back to the vet ASAP.

    Good luck - keep us posted.
