drake is hurt :(

Just wanted to add my best wishes for him too.

But I also have to say that is one of the coolest t-shirts I have ever seen if ,perhaps, somewhat at odds with the general tide of the thread so far.:oops:


derek

I hope it's nothing serious. Hope he gets well soon

derek,

it sure is different eh? "the sound of no one caring" isn't happening here in this thread, nor in our home.

my 8 yr old daughter is so worried for drake... she says, "it doesn't matter what it is... i just love all the critters we have mom... *big tears welling up in her eyes*" i told her that our vet is amazing and he'll take great care of drake... and everything will be fine.

:hug: thanks everyone!

Aw.. poor guy, that looks nasty. I hope he gets well soon, and that he doesn't give you trouble for the shots (shots aren't really that bad though, most snakes don't seem to care)

I'll move this to the boa forum though. ;)

i wanted to look in his mouth but my hubby didn't want to take a chance at hurting him... so i'll wait for the vet visit tomorrow.

You'll have to open his mouth and check for any foamy saliva; it's most likely an infection.
I'm sure the vet will take care of it, though. :)

Eek, poor little guy! I'm sure he'll be alright, but boy do I know how stressful it is when the critters are ill or injured. :( Here's hoping he's better soon!

I had something like that come up on a female pastel of mine the whole top of her head was swollen up. The vet said it was a Grainual Oma (sp) basically it a swelling of the tissue. I was told to put triple antibiotic ointment on it twice a day and it would sluff off with a shed. But its best to wait till the vet sees it best of luck.

well i got no sleep at all last night. i'm sitting here, with drake in a pillow case waiting to leave for the vet.

i'll post as soon as i get home. but it's only 7am here and my appt is for 9:30... so it'll be awhile.
