Not really. Got drained a second time and is now on metacam in addition to the fortaz.

Didn't want to disturb him too much but....................

He is going to have an ugly head from the scarring :rofl: but he is eating now. Only 3 more shots remaining for treatment.
He has made a BIG turnaround. :gj:

I wouldnt worry about scars. Chicks dig scars, I should know I have one on the side of my eye!

Hi,

That is great news. :D

You have a big slice of karma coming for sticking with this guy. :bow:

I am not sure if it is a tumor or abcess. He just shed and it is big. He takes f/t so it is not related to a rodent bite. The only bite he could have had was maybe when he was placed with a female for breeding but I didn't see any agression or injury the time they were together.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

I read somewhere that snakes tend to get swollen necks and heads during the shedding process? Don't know if it has anything to do with that. Glad to see things are looking up.

I read this whole thing, I am so glad he is doing better! I hope its all good news from now on!

See, it just goes to show that your luck is changing Steve. ;) VERY good news on your boy!! :gj:

I feel like Christmas came early or something. -lol- I'm so glad to hear that he's doing better; I hope his progress continues. I'm really glad you were able to make it work. :D good on ya. :gj:

god i just spent forever reading this and im so glad he's doing better, just keep everyone updated, because id like to know the outcome of everything

Thank goodness.
I was deeply rooting for you. I'm so glad he's on the road to recovery. :gj:

I don't know how I missed this but I'm glad I missed it long enough to see that the snake is recovering now, sorry you had to go through this, I hope he makes a full recovery.

Keeping fingers crossed that he continues to heal with no further complications. :)

YAY . Good on ya mate!! I hope yer little serpent keeps healin' fine to full..

I am so glad he's doing better! He's in great hands!

Great news man I am really happy that this turned out this way. I was super worried about you both. Get us updates when you can.

Final Update

His head has swelled back up again one week after his last injection.
The treatment didn't work.
He will be euthanized by the vet tomorrow.

Aww nuts, :(


Really sorry to hear that - but you gave him every chance possible so, sad as this is, I think you are making the right decision.

im so sorry. i was really hoping he would pull through. you clearly did everything you could. did you and the vet ever find out what was wrong?

I just read through this thread and I'm so sorry you're going through this. You did the best you could and it is obvious you truly cared for this little guy. It is never easy putting down a beloved animal. My thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry to hear that. I will keep you in my thoughts. You did everything that you could. Most people would not have tried half as hard as you did. We have seen people do nothing over easy situations. You clearly care your pet. again I am sorry...

Oh Steve im so sorry i know you put everything possible towards getting this guy better my condolences brother
