Busy day...

[CTReptileRescue]

Hi folks,
I didn't really know the right forum to post this, so here goes
Our day was very busy here at Rusty Reptiles.
We had two new albino burmese Pythons come in. One is approx 9 feet, the second is 18 yrs old, and approx. 15 ft.
The larger one is having problems with a bad resporatory illness, and some mouth rot.
We also had seven frogs come in today. at least 5 different species, ranging from leopard frogs to white tree frogs. The frogs are not doing so well, they are all suffering from severe red leg, to the point that 3 frogs are not properly identified, sadly they all lived together and were eating each other.
We will be doing constant checks tonight on all of the new animals health.
I will attempt to post pictures tommarow, as long as I can find a way to sleep..hehe
But as for tonight I will be around, so if anyone is out there, help to keep me awake..lol
Thanks for letting me gripe

Rusty, I hate to hear the condition they came in, but i'm glad they're in your hands now. I'm sure if anyone will be able to nurse them back to health, it's Rusty Reptiles.

Thanks for your support Marla.
Between these poor things, and all of the turtle drop offs and calls it gets a bit hectic. My husband and I will be sleeping in shifts tonight. The big burm is haveing a hard time, so we may be waking our vet soon.

It must get really tough sometimes, Rusty...when almost every animal you see is in distress because of human neglect. It's very warming to know that they end up in such a good place, though. {{HUGSSS}}

Hey were here with you!
Thank goodness for people like you to look after these little guys.

Sorry to hear about the frogs' conditions, but as everyone said, at least they are in good hands now. I'm sure they'll come through. And if not, it's not your fault, you'll probably do everything you need to to help those little guys. I had a White Tree frog come into my work a couple weeks ago (I work at a Reptile Center) and he had worms coming out of little pockets in his leg. It was so disgusting and sad. He's full grown and was WC as a juvi and never taken to the vet. Grrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I hope the burms get over the RI's (or does just the 15 footer have it)?

Both still need tests run, we were hoping to wait untill Monday (easter sunday and all), but the larger one is showing major signs.
I wanted to thank you all for your support. It is very nice, and a much needed release for me to be able to "unload" or else sadly someones going to be "unloaded" upon elsewhere. I think thats the major reason that I make posts like the one above. So thanks folks I really appreciate all of your support

HI all,
UPDATE:
The two burms are doing well, The large one is now on enroflaxyn (sp?)
The smaller female is ok, just under observation. They are both adjusting well to their new enclosures.
The frogs are doing ok. They are all on one form of meds or another, due to all their issues. Sadly two are still unidentified. I haven't had that much time to consult our books or online.
I will try to post pics of everyone soon.
Thanks
Rusty

Rusty, that's great to hear that everyone seems to be responding to your TLC! You and hubby must be working your tushies off to get everyone healthy again!

What do you do with all these animals once they recover? Do you find homes for them?
