So my girl Alice is a little over 3 years old and I've had her almost that entire time with no issues, until recently. About 3 weeks ago I noticed what looked like sausage butt to me while offering her a meal. As snake owners when we see sausage butt we tend to just look past it because we've seen it so many times and we get complacent about it.

Fast forward two weeks and I saw that it never went away so I started soaking her. I soaked her for 2-2 1/2 hours in 85 degree water and got only a little urate out.

Which brings us to today. She has been soaked 4 times and I put some warm water in her cloaca with a syringe and nothing's happened. I have a vet appointment scheduled for her next Tuesday to get this taken care of before it gets worse but I was wondering if anyone had any useful tips and tricks in the mean time to help her get the proverbial ball rolling.
