I will fight this to the very end, I will not give up. If she dies it will not be because I didn't try and give it my ALL.
So you were the one he was telling me about..So they are fertile then cause surgery is required. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Re: Ball Python Egg Bound
Thanks FF for all your help. Yes, they are fertile eggs.
Re: Ball Python Egg Bound
Our prayers are with you Faith and with your snake. I'm so very sorry your herp vet hasn't done much more than send a snake home to die slowly and probably quite painfully and expect you to stand by and watch that happen. I hope the soaking, the antibiotics and your determination will see her through. Please keep us up-to-date if you can.

I hope Faith doesn't mind me giving an update or the contents of her PM. I called the head of the Exotic Vet Medicine Department at Mississippi State University who now has a private practice. Explained the problem. We were relaying messages between the girl at the desk but, he said that he spoke with her yesterday and that this is something she could handle herself. I proceeded to explain that this is not some thing that she should be asked to handle and that if he could be of any help I would greatly appreciate it. this was the out come per Faiths PM.
Dr Lenard Duzzi called me. He has offered to aspirate the eggs.
He thinks you were my local Vet.
He asked me how she was doing and what all I've done. I told him and honest he seems to not know what he is talking about but he has a wonderful name.
He told me he really thought the eggs were attached to her insides. I told him the eggs have moved down. He is shocked.
He asked me could he call me tomorrow to check on her and I said yes.
He told me he believed I could deliver the eggs because I delivered one last night. I told him she was on antibiotics from my Vet and that was from the advice from you guys on the forum.
So, whatever you said to him shook him up.
He may join this forum now.
Thank you so very much.
Faith
Glad things are working out Faith let me know if I can do any thing else

Re: Ball Python Egg Bound
Faith, you are true to your name :) You are being so brave about all of this, and trying so hard to help your girl survive. My thoughts and prayers are with you--I'm sure if your girl is as determined to survive as you are determined to save her, she'll make it through this just fine.
:hug: Hang in there, hon. And keep us updated on her progress.

Re: Ball Python Egg Bound
Yesssssssssssssssssss, I got the eggs out. :). her vent looks stretched, will that close up? I am so excited!! :)
I soaked her for an hour and took her half way out while I massages the upper egg, it only took a few minutes for it to slide all the way down, within seconds it was out. I put fresh warm water in the soaking tub and have her soaking now.
Thank you all so very much for your help. Is there anything else I need to do or need to know?
When do I try and feed her?
I am so very excited. I pray to God she survives.
Bless you all.
