Is my boa still sick?
I just finished giving my boa her six doses of Fortaz injections for her RI. Today I had her out and she seemed fine, then I heard her breathe, and it sounded a bit... bubbly, kind of like when a person has a cold and they breathe, but very slight. That was only one breath though, and then she started hissing, so I don't know if it was just her hissing, or what. She also has a nose rub, and I don't know if that could cause noise in her breathing. I also saw her throat puff up once, like she did before treatment, only less exaggerated.
I wonder, since she spends most of the time in the cool side of her cage, if the antibiotics didn't do as much as they could as if she was warmer. Her warm side is 92-95.. and the cool is around 80 or less I think (grr I forgot to check that).
I examined the inside of her mouth. It appeared red to me, and there was a bit of blood that came off on the q-tip. Now, she just bit me the other night, and perhaps a tooth or two got ripped in the process.. what do I do?
On the other hand, she just gave me a lovely poop tonight, and she's been eating like a pro (f/t her last meal) She's also extremely active, alert, and energetic (read: pain in the butt when out of the cage) she flicks her tongue normally, and there was no sign of mucous in her mouth (I also looked in the nasal passages, and saw nothing there either, and watched for her glottis to open, and... nada.
Ideas?
