Swollen Head, Vets have no clue what's going on.

[dart]

So here's an update. I did read the forum about Leo and it doesn't sound like what Midori is going through.

She hasn't been bleeding, just the top of her head has been swelling, and she still acts normal. She ate this last weekend like normal after we "popped" her head.

The vet has yet to hear back from the lab about the culture taken.

We've had to pop her head with a needle twice since taking her because she's swollen up so bad. It's just air inside.

Since this has happened. We've been thinking that maybe she's damaged her nasal cavity some how, causing air to get stuck inside of her. After talking to a friend on FB, he asked a breeder friend of his who thinks she's going through the same thing 2 of his snakes went through. It sounds like she basically broke her nose. He suggested I try and find any stuck shed in her nostrils and see if that helped. So, I tried fishing in her nostril (which she was very good about) for anything, and pulled out a small blockage, but it doesn't seem to have really helped.

So, now it's still just a waiting game. I moved her from our melamine rack to our AP rack so she won't do anymore damage to her nose, plus I've sprayed it slightly to help with some humidity. I gave her a hide also to see if she'll just hang out in there while recovering.

Fingers crossed we hear back from the vet soon!

Thanks everyone!
