I bought my very first BP from a pet store(before I knew the HUGE online BP world!) about 2 wks ago. About 3 days after I got the snake my husband noticed that he was blowing bubbles....at the time I didn't know what that meant! So, we went about our day and went down to another pet store for some supplies for our Beardie....and I happened upon a BP lover in the reptile dept. He begins to tell me about this pet store that sells sicks snakes and that I should never shop there!!And what-ya know....it was where I bought my BP!! So, I told him about the bubbles in my BP's mouth and he said that was classic RP signs!!!
So, I go home and do some research on here and decide I need to take him to the vet. Well, all the vets quoted me $150-$200 to see and treat the snake! Now, I paid $49 for him!!! At this point I am getting super pissed b/c I'm going to have to pay a huge vet bill b/c the stupid pet store sold me a sick snake! So, me and my DH decide to take the snake back to the pet store and ask for our money back! But when my DH goes in....they offer to treat the snake for us! We say ok, and they give him a shot of something that starts with an "A" and said to come back every 3 days for another shot(the meds were in prescription bottles). Yesterday, was our third shot and my poor snake is still bubbly when you open his mouth! I can also feel him wheezing when I hold him!![]()
I told the guy this and he said that it could take a while to clear up....and that if the wheezing didn't clear up, then come back for another shot!
SOOOO, if you got through all of that, my question is...How long does it take for an RI to clear up?
Thanks!!
