Hello forums, I know I haven't been active in a long time, and unfortunately it's not very happy circumstances that brings me back.

To make a long story very short, I had to rehome my entire collection 2 years ago due to my apartment not allowing the snakes and the fact that my husband and I had a newborn on the way. I had 12 snakes at the time and got rid of all but my 3 favorites - Gio my lesser bee, Georgette my mojave, and Dexter my calico pastel - who I gave to a family member to care for. This was 2 years ago. Last year my lesser bee, Gio, died. We don't know what happened to him, the family member had a necropsy done that said he was healthy and cause of death was unknown. He was a 2013, so I have absolutely no idea what could have caused him to die suddenly like that. Well today I get a message from her saying that Dexter looks to have been attacked by her roommates dog. He has about a 2 inch gash on his side that does not look good at all ( I have a picture, I don't want to share it because it's ick). I also found out that in the time she's had these last 2 snakes they've regurgitated multiple times and current pictures don't actually look like they've grown very much at all (they're both 2014s, I have records of their weights before they left my care in 2015 where they were 328 and 441 grams respectively and neither look heavier than 800 from the recent pictures). I haven't been to her house since I dropped off the snakes 2 years ago so I haven't seen their condition and had no idea things were this bad. I'm going to get them back tomorrow and do everything I can to save Dexter.

I know there's a veterinary hospital that does exotics pretty close to my moms house where I'll be going after I get my snakes back, but what else should I do? Please no hate, I know I should have kept closer tabs on them but I honestly thought they were in good hands...
