Help! Urgent..

I'm hoping the silence from the OP means there has been a vet visit...I'm crossing my fingers. PLEASE KEEP US POSTED.

Crypto can also cause that appearance in later stages.

umm, best scenario would be one of these incredibly loud farts that were discussed in another thread a while back.

im referring to this one: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...loud-poop-fart

lets hope its just gas forming from the last meal in combination with constipation. but please keep us updated.

I got a different vet to see me today. She was being a picky eater for the last two and a half weeks. She's 280 grams three weeks ago. I got her to eat a live weanling which wasn't a fit size for her but I thought offering a smaller meal might help her take it. She's only 285 now so it couldn't have been her eating something. Just air?

I was hoping ovulation cause I know it can make there stomach look like they ate a huge meal. And she hasn't soo..

She's about ten months old

The cloaca expose itself when I apply pressure as if I was about to pop her.

Sorry for the late response :/ been super busy this weekend

That's not ovulation. Ovulation is pretty much the lower half/third of their body and she's much too young anyways. That looks like something's gone wrong in her stomach or intestines.

I think you need to call your vet back...or better yet just show up...and explain that this IS AN EMERGENCY!

So what did the vet say?

So I just got back from the vet. He took x rays and there was a very dense poop blocking up her intestines causing lots of gas to build up. He gave me some kind of oil to give her orally, wait 20 minutes, give it to her again, and then give her a long warm soak.
He said this should loosen her up and get things going.

This is what he told me to do

keep us posted, that sounds pretty crazy. i hope it passes quick and doesn't cause her any harm :C
