He took us right in this evening for Kashmire's 2nd de-worming and gave him another kiss as he was handling him. I made the comment, "I love the balls, because I think they have the prettiest faces". He laughed and said "You're a ball gal! I'm a boa guy!" Hey, I don't care as long as he has the knowledge. He has several of his own snakes (but all boas).
He was thrilled with how Kashmire was looking. He said that he looked awesome! He weighed 94 grams today, which was a 25% increase in weight from 2 weeks ago. On only one feeding too!
He said he feels better too (a little plumper, but not fat). I told him to be used to seeing me, as I'll be coming up any time I'm panicky about Kashmire. He laughed and said "you're a great ball python momma, you'll be fine, but I'll be happy to see him any time you want to bring him in".
AND he only charged me $2.10 for the Panacur and no office visit fee today.
THANK YOU all who encouraged me to take Kashmire to see a vet when he regurged his first meal with me. If it weren't for the internet, I'd hate to imagine what might have happened to Kashmire. If there's a silver lining in his having parasites, it's that I've found a wonderful vet with exotics experience (and I've also been looking for a new one for my fur babies too, so he's the guy!)
