Not good.

I'm not really worried about her urinating too much, as she has only urinated once in a month, and that was with the strange urates. I was thinking of maybe trying to get her to eat an ASF that was wet, but I'm not too sure about feeding her just yet.

Well, I fed her a small live ASF and she took it! It was quite a remarkable strike too, as she grabbed the ASF by the foot. She's swallowing as we speak.

Her eyes seem to have improved, and she seems much more hydrated than she did last week. She still hasn't gone to the bathroom yet, but we will see. She also has a follow up with the vet on either Tuesday or Wednesday. I think things are looking up! :)

This is great to hear! I was catching up, and hoping that you would try and she would eat for you. I am glad you did. If she is feeding aggressively, she is most likely doing well and on her way to good health.

Your story is almost word for word the experience I had with my rescue just under a year ago. The pupils unfortunately were not something I could easily see. The soaking is absolutely going to lead to bad sheds for a while (at least it did with mine); however, it was a recommendation from my vet that I followed. Once she was better and no longer needed soaking, her sheds have returned to nearly perfect every time.

Thanks for starting this post and keeping us informed. I am sure this will help people in the future going through similar situations.

Love the latest pic... she is looking good!

Thank you for your input on this issue. It really helped me a lot. The pic that I posted was her this past summer. I will post new pics when she's gotten a clean bill of health from the vet.:)

Her vet appointment is on Wednesday, but I couldn't help myself.

Her eyes are looking good.

She's also looking good.

She's the most beautiful pastel I've ever seen in person, and she is a great snake. I'm so happy that she's doing well. :)

Nice! :gj: - She is very good looking

In that first pic, one of the air holes looked to have a little bit of a point to it. If so, try taking a soldering iron to it and smoothing that out a little if possible.

Thanks. I have since removed the little flap of plastic from the airhole.

YES! She went to the bathroom today and I never thought I'd be so happy to see nice WHITE urates. :D Lots of pee too. I think she's going to get a clean bill of health from the vet on Wed. :)

This is great to hear! So happy for you... Best of luck today at the vet. Sounds like it will probably just be a well check at this point. Great Job! :gj:

Just a little update. :)

The vet visit went well, the vet did not hear any more whistles or clicks, so she has a clean bill of health. She will still be seperated from the rest of the collection for a few more months as a precaution. She also took a small f/t that rat on friday without hesitation. Her weight as of today is 957 grams. :)

Thanks for all of your help,
Alana.
