I believe my Lilly is sick I'm going to call the vet tomorrow and try to set up an appointment for Saturday (or tomorrow....but I'm assuming that's not going to happen).

I do have a few questions. I have been reading other threads on here about RI's, and I know to bump up the temp until I can get her to the vet, but I was wondering how quickly an RI will progress. I couldn't seem to find any sort of time line in any other the other threads I saw. I'm wondering b/c next week is finals week, and if I can't get her in Saturday, it will have to wait until the 14 =/

My friends said that they heard her clicking a bit a few weeks ago, but she was about to shed so I let it go. Then last week someone else said something about her clicking a bit when she breathed (there are a lot of sounds that I can't hear, so I can't actually listen for it myself). Tonight when I picked her up she drooled on me a bit. I've seen another post where someone thought their snake had taken a drink right before they picked them up b/c they drooled water on them. That's what I would have thought it was if I didn't know better. It was just very thin and completely clear. I didn't see any bubbles, and the little ways that I could open her mouth I didn't see anything either. I know I need to get her in to a vet as soon as I can, but I'm just not sure how quickly these things progress into something *really* bad.

Also, I have to go home around the 20th. It's a 5 hour drive, and I need to take Lilly with me (b/c of room checks over the break, and I don't want to leave her alone for that long). I don't know if she will still be on medication by then, but if she is, will the stress of the trip mess anything up? I don't want to undo anything by stressing her out, but I can't really get around taking her with me.

Sorry it's so long....I know I tend to ramble
