Good, I'm very glad to see that. I think a responsible vet should always look at emergency cases, even if it means they're a few minutes late for their round of golf...

totally sweet - please update us asap. I hope all goes well!!!

This is really good news...as a matter of learning and future reference you might consider taking pictures. This way you can monitor the healing process and see how quickly he recoops from these injuries. It will also serve as a strong reminder to make sure he cannot get out again.

Should you choose to post those pictures it could help others as well :)

yeah the vet was cool about it it was the receptionist that gave me the problem. I am hoping that he pulls through he is pretty alert but he cant move his back side at all but his is moving his head around a little.

He got out while he was under my sisters care I was on vacation. I will try to get some pics. all I have is my camera phone.

I hope the snake pulls through. This is a really good lesson folks about advocating for care. I know as a pet owner and as a mother of four, you can't let receptionist, nurses or techs stand between you and the care those that depend on you need in an emergency situation. Do as this person did and insist on speaking to the vet/doctor and if you aren't allowed to, simply show up. It's amazing how fast an appointment suddenly opens up when a determined parent or pet owner is standing there with a sick kid or a dying animal and saying "I simply won't leave until someone helps me". Doesn't mean you have to be nasty, cuss or be rude...just be determined and firm in that you need emergency help and you need it right now (and don't forget a very big thank you afterwards). :)

he is still doing ok so far. still moving around as much as he is able to. I provided water for him. one of his eyes is sunk into his head and he still flicks his tongue but he cant close his mouth. he does have one bleeding wound. I am going to head to the vet in about 5 min. see if he cant do anything sooner.

Good luck!!


I'm praying for this little guy.... :(
