Help, egg still attached to female...

[don15681]

Cory Woods isn't giving you information on what to try, but on his experience on what to do. As he stated for you slow people, he has already done this more than once and the female not only survived but was able to breed for years after without any effects of this procedure. I can understand if someone doesn't feel that they can do this. But I wouldn't let a vet do anything else that wasn't in this statement that Cory provided us with.

I breed ball pythons and this is my hobby with my own collection of them. I for one am very thankful that a breeder with the knowledge of Cory Woods, took the time to go into detail on what to do, most reptile vets don't even have this knowledge.

Cory Woods, THANK YOU!

Disagreeing with some of what Cory wrote does not make one "slow." Don't be rude. The general consensus is that this is a helpful, and insightful bit of information. Discussion exploring other options or procedures for the general benefit of the animals should be welcomed, not shunned. I'm not meaning to call you out, but there's no need for name calling.

Cheers,

I'm glad to hear you were able to get the stuck egg free, Sam. Let us know how it turns out with the eggs still inside her oviduct, huh?

I think you have waited way too long to help her!!!
I hope she's gonna make it, and praying she doesn't have too much pain!!!!

Hi, I worked as a vet tech for 11 yrs. We worked on everything form live stock to exotics even fish. Sometimes there is no time for anesthetic.
and sometimes the chance of it killing the animal is greater then the the pain caused by what needs to be done, and that is the reality behind the doors of a vet hospital. In an emergency situation a Dr will start working on the animal before the tech has a traich tube down its throat.

I don't know if your reply is to me,
But I wasn't talking about anesthetics.
But if that was my animall and this would happen at night, the next morning there would be help for her, by a vet or by an experienced person and I would never let it take this many days.

Last week I had a guttata who's eggs where stuck and that was at night, the next day I called at 08.00 in the morning and the eggs were helped out with help of a paravetinair.

I just don't think its fair to let your animall suffer for that long, thats all

No my reply wasnt to you. I was by no means saying that help should not be sought from a vet. My response was to WingedWolfPsion stating that anesthetics are not always used when dealing with emergency situations.

Hi,

Just to point out the OP had dealt with the problem long before he came back on here to post the update.

He was also recieving help from a vet via telephone and from another forum here in the UK.

He simply forgot to check back.
