Hi all,
This morning we had a boa (common) dropped of to us. We headed straight for the vet for a tail amputation.
Apparently the snake was burned badly on the tip of the tail. The girl did bring it to a vet, actually the same vet we used (which was convenient to already have some medical history) The girl treated the snake appropriately with antibiotic injections and burn cream.
Untill the snake got agressive. She simply wasn't comphtorable with him attacking, and just couldn't get near him, (which is understandable) to continue with his treatments.
So he arrived this morning. and without having treatments for the last four days, his tail became extremely necroptic. So off to the vet.
My husband and I were thrilled to once again be able to assist in surgery and learn from our vet.
The snake came out well. Just with out a tail.
I'll try and post pictures soon. and we hope for the best with his healing process.
I'll keep you guys updated on his progress if you would like.
Thanks
Rusty
