Snake Loss

Well, I lost a female ball python. Unfortunately it was Annebelle, my het albino from 8Ball Pythons. She got mouth rot, despite being kept on newspaper. Treating her with a mixture of peroxide didn't work, so she went to the vet. Even with antibiotics the mouth rot got worse, and her face swelled horribly, and today one eye was rupured, so we put her to sleep. She was suffering at this point even with pain medicines(I didn't know you had pain meds for snakes).
Sigh. I really feel bad, and the vet will be necropsieing to see if there were any other issues.

Sorry to hear about that. :( Take comfort in the fact that she's not suffering anymore.

I am so sorry :( .

Oh Wolfy hun, I am so sorry ((()))

:hug: I'm sorry that you (and your girl) had to go through all of that... :(

Thanks for the sentiments. I do appriciate that someone in the world knows they are pets, and even though I have over 40, it still hurts to lose one. She was a great snake, and bit me ALL the time. One of my closest friends made a joke that maybe *I* am venomous and she got sick after biting me one too many times. It did make me laugh a bit.
Now I guess I have to figure out how to break it to Adam that I lost one of his babes.

I'm so sorry to hear that Wolfy...


You have my deepest condolences.

Sorry to hear of your loss.
It doesn't matter if you have 1 or 100 it still is a painful loss.
Know in your heart you did everything you could. We're with you Wolfy

Thanks everyone. I can only imagine when she reaches those pearly gates... she's gonna bite St Peter.
Good girl.
RIP Annebelle.
Wolfy

Sooo sorry for your loss... :( (((hug)))

that sucks, Im dealing with a sick ball as well. He has some sort of skin rot. Hes been treated by a vet for 6 weeks on two antibiotics and its not helping so she is sending me to a specialist in las vegas. Im keeping my fingers crossed. So sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry for your loss Theresa ... I know how passionate you are about your animals and having been there myself, can share in your grief. If you ever need someone to talk to, I am always available to you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I know how much you care about each one of your snakes . . .

Sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in our thoughts.
