At a loss

[Big Gunns]

First wow I just thanked BG never thought I would do that, and thank you BG for coming out of third person to give that excelent explination of what to do. You do know your stuff no matter what anyone else says.

Now to the OP do exactly what BG said. I know in my experience selling and buying snakes 80% of the time it is the buyers fault 100% for most situations. For this I do think there might be some fault with the breeder but not all of it. The animals should have been taken to the vet the day it regurged it's food. Any snake I have no matter how long I have had it ,1 day in my care to my oldest being 13 years old, any of them regurge they go straight to the vet no questions asked.

Here is a perfect example of what Bis Gunns was talking about.

Thanks all!

He has poo'd and gave me urates since I got him. So I think all is working well with that. I'm going to call my vet tomorrow and see if he will take a look at him.

Lilly, BG just noticed where you live. You might wanna try and take your snake to Dr. Gold. BG is almost positive that Pete Kahl uses him. If BG's memory serves him right, this is the same doc that Pete took the Candyball. He wanted to draw blood from the Candymans heart to check him out, but it scared Pete to death so he did something else instead.

It's kinda late, so calling Pete is not an option right now, but Dr. Gold is on the bp.net Vet list. Good luck and don't delay.

ps. It's not a bad idea for anyone that's looking for a good Vet to call the largest breeder in your area. A breeder is only going to use a good Vet, since to them it's not just a hobby, it's their livelihood.

That is what I did...makes perfect sense. They are tried and true if your breeder uses them!!

Good luck to you. It's hard to tell from BG's computer just how bad your snake is, but whenever they regurgitate a meal it can get really bad. Your snake may just need it's skin shed and be perfectly fine, it's always better to be safe though. Dr. Gold should be able to help you.

Make sure you are completely honest with the Doc about EVERYTHING. Some people are not.

BG will say this though. One day can make a HUGE difference. BG knows you don't wanna pay emergency visit costs, but you might wanna call and see if there is any way you can come today without added costs....even if it means you need to wait.

Big Gunns needs an update.
