So I purchased what listed as an 3.1kg adult female leopard and today I when I picked her up from the hub and got her home, she weighs 2.6kg, has some mild scale rot and she had bubbles coming out of her mouth so she’s obviously got an RI!!

Pretty upset about the whole thing in general but mostly the fact that she’s sick! Now I’m debating sending her back and getting a refund but before I do, about how much would it be to fix the RI and what type of treatment does it consist of? Scale rot I can deal with but I’ve never had to deal with anything like an RI.

I also have 12 other BP’s. She’s in quarantine like normal for a while but if we keep her it will be even longer now.

She also does this odd “bullfrog” thing with her throat. It gets all puffed out and then deflated kind of. Anyone know what might cause that? Is it because of the RI?

I’ve spoken to the breeder and he’s agreed to do a refund when he receives her back. He said she was fine when she was there with him so is it possible she got the RI overnight during shipping? She got delayed and was stuck somewhere for an extra night. He told me he can’t receive her until Wednesday so is she even going to be ok until then?

Any advice is appreciated.
