I am glad that the vet got moved up and all turned out well. The fact still remains that the vet was NOT visited soon enough. When you ask for help and you get the same answer from everyone, how many times does it take before you do it? Really upset me, but yall prob figured that out.

On another good note a certain person gave me two red reputation tags for different post on this thread. I thank you. Your

Wait, Red? That cant be good! CHECKING.......NOPE, NOT GOOD! So much for the friend request. They prob did it just cause I from Texas and drive a truck instead of a Hy-Bred, and thats against the rules. Thanks buddy.

I do believe they may need to change their name. Maybe something like Soft-One, if its not taken.

I do admit that my camouflaged word didn't have to be there. But its since been removed by Big Brother and I doubt most of yall saw it. So getting tagged with red for expressing my, yes angry, but passion filled opinion kinda bothers me. I realize that we have rules here but other than my one word, which this person didnt see, I fell within them. Thats why the post was still there to be read. My intent was not to hurt the persons feelings but show that this was a serious matter that I didnt feel they were handling correctly. I hope in the future they take the forum advice more serious.

However,

This is still America and if I have something to say, you can bet I will say it. Yes, I would even say it to their face(see past post). I am a very opinionated person and I dont back down from my values or beliefs. Plus, nice didnt seem to be working so you have to turn it up sometimes. I find it hard to believe that a single person on here has not been yelled at sometime during their life. If I hurt your feelings with some yelling text(the only way to really show feeling in these post) you should just avoid my post. That way your feelers dont get hurt, and you can save some tissues.

Im a nice guy but can not stand when an animal is not properly cared for. It really gets my hot. Sorry for being human.
My feelings are in no way hurt. While I do believe in "you attract more flies with honey than vinegar", I didn't disagree with everyone: that snake should've been taken to an emergency vet as soon as the kink was found. At least taken in next day. But the person needs to be educated about where they can go, because they might not know any emergency vets around. I am SO selective where I take my snakes now, after the first "herp" vet I took my BP to told me 3 times that she had an RI and prescribed 3 times the same meds, even with no improvement from my snake. Finally found a reputable place and they took her back, did some swaths of her mouth and ran some diagnostics (something the other vet never even offered) and lo and behold, it was a fungal infection. She's still on the rocks months later, because I'm sure that not getting it treated in time spread to other issues. It's a hard (and expensive) road.

Basically, when dealing with a story off the internet, I find it's best to ask questions (a LOT of questions) and make sure all your bases are covered and your questions answered before giving my 2 cents. It saves conversations like these.



Just letting you know, I don't believe your advice was wrong. I think the way you wrote came off as more hostile than needed. The truth does hurt, but because of that we as the people this person came for for advice need to be able to deliver the truth in as good a way as possible. I know that's what I would hope for if I was in the OP's shoes.
