Brought home a severely underweight BP baby. Please help me get her back on track

Time for another quick update. She just switched to rats and took her first rat pup! I don't think she's going to get very big, she's two years old now and just a little thing - but she's cute! She just shed for me and is looking sleek with fresh paint.

Just read through this thread all the way for the first time... wow. My heart broke when I saw that first photo of her you posted. It's so amazing how far she's come now and how much you two have been through (the skin tearing was very scary to see!) You are an absolute angel for rescuing this poor snake, I know people (including me) always say to not buy from pet stores or get a snake because you feel bad for it but there's no denying that you saved this BP, made a world of difference in her life, and gave her a loving home she might otherwise never have had to the chance to experience. You've truly done something amazing here, I wouldn't have expected this snake to live given the condition she was in when you got her. Thank goodness you got to her in time I hope you'll keep updating us every once in a while on how she's doing! She's a real trooper.

I know this post is several months old, but I just wanted to throw out there that I really appreciate this thread. It brought tears to my eyes to see Hera's recovery because this is what my girl is going through currently. After a while of food refusal, she started developing the fluid pockets and her skin started rupturing like your baby's did. I brought her to the vet and they gave me injections of fortaz, SSD cream and the advice to be ready for her not to make it. I'm EXTREMELY happy to say that she has been showing immense amounts of progress and it's only been a week since bringing her home. She is finally back to her old self, is eating every time I offer food to her and has a protective layer growing over her wounds. She is also not leaking blood tinged fluid everywhere anymore. I was in tears and thought I was going to lose her when I came across this thread, and it gave me hope. Luckily, my hope for her making it through this has steadily increased because of her steady progression. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. You have impacted much more than you are probably aware of.
