    blocked up Falsy
    My poor Falsy is blocked up right in the middle(looks swollen), and now has stopped eating, anything I can do before this weekend when I can take her in for a vet visit?

    the vet was heading out of town so we rushed her in, an impaction is the verdict

    seems to be slowly going down now, fingers crossed, gave a her a lukewarm soak today and she cleared out a tiny little bit, some is better than none.

    I'm sorry to hear this :( What meds/laxatives did the vet try?

    I had a corn snake who the vet thought was backed up/impacted, and she ended up being egg bound from when she was paired over two years previous with the last owner. We gave Baytril shots, mineral oil inserted down into her belly to try to help her pass the "blockage" and he gave a warm water enema before we figured it was a different problem. Did your vet try any of these?

    Indeed, here's my write up on it (she made it though, tough girl!): http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ry-and-spaying

    I'm sorry to hear about your loss OP, I recently lost my snow corn girl and I'm still upset over it.
