Veterinarians in Wayne County, MI

[mischevious21]

I have a problem with my baby ball, and I need to take him to a vet asap! The problem is, I just called my normal vet thats in Westland, and shes out on medical for at least 3 weeks- but the receptionist said maybe longer!! So do any of you know any GOOD vets around the Wayne County area that treat reptiles? Please and thank you!!

Thank you very much.. And Im not completely positive- but by his belly near his tail, it used to be a beautiful golden-yellow, but a couple days ago it started to turn a purple-ish gray color, and now its got some white specs in it (like his scales are loosing their color), and its starting to spread up now, and instead of it just being by the tail its moving up closer to his middle.... And also, hes getting kind of bloated and has been very restless.. And I dont know whats wrong- but I want to find out ASAP.

Well, hopefully he's just getting ready to drop you a big ol' stinky present. However, a trip to the vet is always in order if you feel something is wrong. You know your snake and you're in the best position to tell if something is truly out of the ordinary. I hope you find someone to help you!!!

Thanks- and yea, thats what I was hoping too, but he went yesterday and hes still like that.. So yea, Im just hoping to find a vet that can help..

If it's not too late...bag up that poop and take it with you so the vet can check for worms/parasites.


Good luck!
