Pretty Please Tell Me It Isn't An RI
Good God I thought the nightmare had ended.
We brought a snake back from the show in Hatfield and we noticed around 6 hours later that she was popping and wheezing and all that nonsense and sure enough a few days later, FULL BLOWN RI. As we'd never dealt with anything like that, we decided the best thing we could do for her was to take her back to her breeder. We had no way of knowing how advanced the infection was.
Needless to say, once she left us we scrubbed the bejesus out of the tubs, dishes, everything, and as I'm sitting here on my bed I hear a little wheeze coming from my rack. Turns out, my black pastel, my favorite little angel of sweetness, is popping. He's got no bubbles, no mucus and he's been eating mice without an issue. He's fine interacting, he's not lying with his head up, he's totally normal other than that little noise.
Our temps hover around 92 hot side, 83 ambient, and the humidity around 65% (not 100% certain, but we spray every day and everyone sheds in one piece). I really, really hope it's not another RI. I don't know what to do about it. I've read advice saying that bringing him to a vet is a mixed bag and that a lot of their procedures are obselete and ineffective. I just want my baby to be ok. I thought we were finally getting this under control and now, another problem.
I bumped the temperatures up around 2 degrees and sprayed his tub down as usual. What else can I do? I read so much mixed information while we were dealing with the last one, I just don't know the right thing, the right action to take.
Help? *defeated*
