    Uh Oh.. :(
    OK.. well my girl had her eggs on Sunday.....but it seems she has one more inside of her....(at least it looks as big as her eggs)........... :( So.. how long do i wait before taking her to a VEt... do I wait? are there things I can do to help her get it out? Any 2 Cents would be WONDERFUL....

    I would give her 7 days... Maybe schedule a visit for next monday. Sorry to hear. :(
    Did you palpate to feel if it is an egg still in there? You should easily be able to feel if it is. Is the bulge right by the vent?
    Good luck.

    It is no where near her vent... at least to me it isnt.... and you can see it...I soaked her in a warm tub last night.... I massaged her best i could.. even tickled right under where its at.. She hates it when I do that... haha! I have been reading up and its a little scary... Our town Vets will not touch snakes so Im going to have to go out of town. Can it be fixed or is there a chance I will loose her? :(

    Hi,

    Don't try and "massage it down" - you could end up rupturing her oviduct doing that.

    Put the vet appointment on and try and keep her relaxed and well hydrated in the meantime.

    Well...... here is an update.........

    We took her in and the xtray showed an egg...... so the Vet.. who I really REALLY liked.... gave her a shot of oxytocin... we are giving her 48 hours... So if she doesnt pass it by tomorrow he will go in and aspirate *sp* the egg and hopefully it will come out. IF not then surgery is our final option.... I looked at her this morning and it doesnt look like it has moved down at all.... she was on her side last night.... poor thing is trying but man it looks huge now............... I had to go out of town for this Vet but he loves snakes... he was happy with how she looked..and he has performed surgery on many snakes......he said we got her there early enough and have time to try out the other options... SO keeping our fingers crossed.... Im hoping she passes it by tomorrow........


    She is such a good snake...she was so good with him... and he even commented on her.............SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... as funny as it may sound... I have put my lil girl on a prayer list...:please:

    to be continued... :)
