Wow...that really is amazing! You did such a good job getting as much info as time allowed and getting down to it. The animal world (and the world in general) need more people like you....the ones that are willing to do whatever it takes to get things done. Good job, and I'll be thinking of her!! ^_^

Great job Tim and Monica! I don't know many in this business who would have taken the time to try to heal her. Thanks so much for sharing and please keep us updated on her as she grows.

[hoo-t]

Wow, Tim! That has to be the most amazing thing I've seen since being in this hobby! HUGE props to you and Monica (and Adam too)! I am most definitely praying for your little friend, and hoping that she comes through with flying colors! Please keep us posted!

Oh wow, great story! Amazing even.

Do we have some sort of medal we can award here? Wow! :eek:

Tim you are the man! I hope your little girl makes it thru and lives to be a ripe old lady. I will say my special little animal prayer for her.

I was good until I saw the pics then my eyes welled up. She is a beautiful little creature.
It's people like you and Adam that keep me here at this site and gives me faith in mankind when so many others try to make it hard to believe in your fellow human.

How lucky is that little girl to be born under the care of such a wonderful person.

Thanks Jody, the pics still shake me up a bit when I look at them.

Tim, I'm not even sure that a vet would be able to do that on his own snake impromptu. Major kudos to you and Monica for taking care of this little girl! Just as an afterthought, what are you guys using to prevent any infections?

Thanks Kasi. As for infection, I have talked to a few people, and we are thinking of just Neosporin. I am giong to wait a couple days to apply it as I want the hernia to form a dry scab. I am knid of leary about getting it damp again, as that is how I wound up here to begin with.

[muddoc]

True, but you may want to wait just a little while. Any Skin Shield or superglue/ liquid skin will also glue the stitches to her skin, making it hard to remove them w/o injury once things have started to close up.

Hugs and prayers to you and Monica for your little miracle baby. I hope she heals well and grows big and strong for you!!

Thanks Rulyn. I don't think we are going to go the route of liquid band-aid, as the sutures are holding the hernia closed pretty well on their own.

[muddoc]

Wow I just can't get over this. I not only found this super interesting but so heart warming.

World needs more people like you in it.

Love to hear how she is doing in the near future.

Thanks Ashley. I am going to go check on her in a bit, and will post a little update.
