Re: Panamanian Hypo Boa with a lump
I called the vet to confirm that the type of bacteria was determined and appropriate meds will be used. They said yes
He last ate this past Sunday so he is scheduled for his first shot this Wednesday which will be over 48 hours since eating. Is this okay

Should be fine. I just wouldn't feed again until a week after the last injection, which would likely be normal schedule anyway for an older boa.
Re: Panamanian Hypo Boa with a lump
Okay, thanks. I only feed once a month now so it should work out good.
Re: Panamanian Hypo Boa with a lump
Yesterday was Sawyers first set of injections. He is such a trooper - he did so good. The drs seem confident that after the 3.5 weeks of injections done every 3 days he should be fine. Fingers crossed.
Re: Panamanian Hypo Boa with a lump
**Update on Sawyer** as of Wednesday, October 7th he completed the last of his injections of Fortaz and Amikasin.
He did great for the shots every 3 days. The lump has diminished if not completely gone - its hard to see. I pray is stays gone.
When should I offer him a meal again?? They think it may have been a scrape inside his body from the claws of the f/t rat and then it got infected. So, I think I may cut the nails on the feeder rats before feeding to avoid this ever happening again.
It was an expensive experience for sure.
Thanks

Was supposed to be a quote, not a link. I fixed it. I am very glad to hear your boa is recovering.
