Concerned My snake just ate a sick mouse please read

I don't mean to be a pain in the a$$ but do any of our more versed snake owners know if sickness can be transfered from a mouse to the snake from eating it?

Im waiting to get a fecal sample to get it sent to my vet, but in the mean time just to settle myself i would just like to know if this is even possible.

I hope someone can answer decisively.... to me the obvious answer is , yes, but not likely ... we will see

Not likely at all unless said mouse stepped in contaminated reptile feces before you took it home and then fed it to your snake. Your snake could then contract any parasites or possible illnesses that the infected snake was carrying. Like I said, highly unlikely, but still.

since it's been over 36 hours since you posted this thread and question... i'm wondering... what did you vet say when you called them today? did they feel a mouse could make a snake ill?

in the great circle of life and all of the amazing things that happen on this earth, i doubt very very much that a mouse illness would harm a snake... i just can't see mother nature working like that.

but then, what do i know... not much that's for sure. but i would think your vet would have waaaaaaaaaay better answers than anyone here. (no disrespect meant to anyone here) :D

Well i talked to another vet and he said that its highly unlikly that the snake could get sick. the vet that i usually go to is out of town and iv just been seeing him for so long i feel like i just need to see him to be sure. heh not sure if that sounds crazy but it will make me feel better.

As for if the snake looks ok or not she does. Same behavior that she has always had. She still comes out at night and explores.

but thanks for all the reply's everyone, you were all a huge help!!
