Re: Hognose with mass/lump
If I'm remembering right snake pus ( the stuff inside the cyst ) is solid and generally won't go away without being surgically removed - they can't be "drained" like cysts in mammals etc. Hope the li'l guy feels better soon though. :gj:
Re: Hognose with mass/lump
Haven’t updated as there’s been really no change, finished course of antibiotics, the lump went down somewhat to not outwardly visible but still seemed there if I felt her.
I started offering food again, smaller and less frequently to see if things were passing, did not want another clog happening. Still doing occasional soaks. She’s passed urates but no fecal waste. Not leaking fluid or struggling to pass anything so I was cautiously optimistic.
Today I found this in the cage, which I took apart (2nd pic) and it looks to me very much like a leftover slug after all. I chopped into it and it was gooey inside [emoji1785]. Hoping this will be the end of this ordeal.

Hope this resolves the issue for you and your little one starts to recover.
Re: Hognose with mass/lump
She passed another small bit of white fatty looking stuff and two good sized solid very normal appearing feces later that evening. Yay for poop and she hasn’t had a good one like this on her own since this started. I’m so relieved and bet she’s feeling a lot better too. What a roller coaster.
