Lot's of awful news.

I had the same thing with my female ball python. She would convulse at the time she was pooping but did you notice anything else in the cage because she would also vomit up internal parasites. When I took her to the vet all I had to go through was a series of I shot a day for 14 days and with a return visit to the vet she was better. Good luck though I hope everything turns out okay.

P.S. Sorry to hear about your Redtail.

i would get an autopsy done on that redtail, and ask what virus it was, because some are highly contagious and could wipe out your whole collection. .....you definately don't want to lose any more snakes.

I'm praying for you. Hopefully its not IBD...:hug:

DITTO!!!!!

Find out right away what the infection is! I know the stress of finding out your pet is dying is rough, but you need to know! Snoopy was diagnosed w/pseudomonas and despite the antibiotics, special care and all the shots, she didn't make it. Problem here is, pseudo. is HIGHLY contagious and one of the "super bugs". Not many antibiotics will kill it-----ESPECIALLY in reptiles. Contamination of equipment and transmission to HEALTHY animals has to be carefully monitored and done correctly.

Soooooo PLEASE!! find out! That will help you fight and prevent any additional problems or spreading of the illness!

:hug: :hug: Best wishes going out to you!

I'm so sorry to hear that - it's awful to lose any of your beloved pets and I, too, really hope it's not IBD. Vet trip quick!!

What did your vet say about your ball python? Did you ever take it to the vet? I see that you got another RTB yesterday.
