We fed Cleo a hairless rat today and went to pre stun it by whacking it with the tongs (it's worked every other time).
The rats skull cracked. Mess...everywhere.
Cleo was striking at us from the sides of the tub so she was still interested, we fed it to her.
She took forever to eat it and was making horrible, horrible wheezing, gurgling, and grotesque sounds as she ate it.
We fed Nergal a slightly bigger than usual rat and he made the same sounds. Awful high pitched, wheezing, gurgling sounds--like they couldn't breathe. Cleo sounded like her mouth was full of water, and I know the rat had a ton of blood she swallowed.
What the heck was it?
Do I need to call a vet?
I'm panicking. Nowhere sees snakes on Fridays--no one sees snakes all the way until Wednesday. The doctors aren't in! What am I going to do?
What were those sounds?
What do I need to do??
Should I check their mouths for bubbles, liek an RI? How do I open their mouth?
Sorry for typos. Freaking out. I don't want my babies to die.
I'm panicking so bad.
PLEASE HELP!!! I can't breathe, I'm so worried.
please please!
