Info from the Vet

Well, Renji and Winston both went to the vet today for scale rot, and i know there were a few people who wanted an update afterward, so..

The vet said to expect a full recovery, even though Renji's was pretty severe. Both snakes are getting daily betadine baths and shots of antibiotics every 3 days. Renji is going to get her first bath here in a few minutes, once i'm done posting ;). Overall, he said I had nothing to worry about and to come back in a few weeks for a check-up.

What a weight off my shoulders! I was so worried; until a day or two ago I didn't even know what was wrong with my babies! So, MUCH progress has been made. Thanks again for everyone's help/info and kind wishes!

Glad to hear they will be OK.

Glad to hear it! Yay for happy snakes!

Remember the golden rule, put the snakes in a bath of clean water before you let them soak in any medicinal ones. They like to drink when soaking. :gj: Glad to hear!

yay i am glad that your snakies are getting the help they need! hope they get better! you should come over again and we can talk snakes again sometime girl, that was fun!!

its always good to hear the good news. good job

I felt so bad giving Renji her betadine bath today; I could tell that the affected area was very tender :( . However, the vet said to gently rub the betadine bath solution on the worst area, so it had to be done I guess; i just hate hurting my baby. And i'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that i'm going to be giving my snakes their shots myself.. :weirdface

Poor babies. I'm glad they'll be okay. ^_^ Hope you will be, too!

Sorry for missing something, but are they rescues that came to you with scale rot, or is there some husbandry changes w/the bedding that needs to be done to prevent it in the future??

But VERY glad to hear that they're getting the vet and cleaning/ medical care they need so that they heal
