Not good.

Yes and no. I have one whom eyes are always a big larger than the others and others that are smaller. Did you check both eyes are the same size and did you change the light to see if they are changing?

Sorry, no help on the eyes... Mine is a normal, so seeing the pupils was not really an option.

Glad to hear she is doing good and nearing the end of her treatment.

Mine did eat once during treatment; however, she did refuse most weeks until a week or two after it was done... Now she will take em as fast as I can get the in front of her... Like she is making up for lost meals :)

One eye was slightly less dilated than normal, but they were both abnormally large. They remained that way even under bright light. I'll check on her again because I'm about to soak her.

Her eyes are still large, but they did constrict slightly when exposed to bright light. They are still not normal sized, but they are better than yesterday. I weighed her too and she is 838 grams. :( She's lost a bit of weight.

I hate to say this but unresponsive pupils is a big issue. I think a vet might be a good idea it maybe a reaction to the drugs.

I'm trying to get her an appointment within a couple days, as soon as my vet has an opening. I told the receptionist that I believe this is an urgent issue. I will keep you guys updated and I hope she's okay.

Also, I've noticed that she's darkened up again, as if she's getting ready to shed. She shouldn't shed for another 2 and a half weeks, do you think this is because of the needles and she's treating it as an injury?

Dont really have many words of wisdom here, but good luck to you and your snake :( It seems like youre handling the situation really well.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts you guys. I really hope everything goes well. I love her just as much as my other pets and I would be devastated if anything happened to her. Every time I think about it it makes me sad. Heck, I'm tearing up right now. :(

I have to keep my hopes up, and I'm thankful for BP.net :)

So her eyes are still large, but they are a little more responsive than they were yesterday. Also, she's acting very hungry but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to feed her yet. What do you think?

I have also found that soaking a snake does help a bit not massively but some. (after a soaking urinates had a bunch of liquid as well as solids.) certainly not a definitive answer just personal observations and far from scientific or documented. The stress issue is a big one hard to say I think it would come down to the individual animal.

Good ideas about the rats- the part I bolded however, could increase dehydration. Normally an increase in fluids like this for a short period of time will cause urination but following it can cause dehydration. It is less likely that the snake would gain hydration status enough to pass liquids from soaking, as normally liquids are held on to when dehydrated.

I am not so sure a soaking recommendation is a bad one, but that is probably why the snake shed in shreds. It may still help, as kitedemon suggests, but only temporarily in my opinion. And she may indeed be shedding again due to sickness.

Hope your bp starts doing better soon.
