Need help with WC Ghana baby!!

[Skiploder]

UPDATE: Well, on my way home from work I was googling reptile vets in my area--I only came up with 2 names (one of them I know no longer practices here and the other I used to work for and even though he does reptiles he is not an "expert") but I debated taking her in tomorrow for an exam and to see if he had any additional treatments we could try. BUT......when I got home and went to check on her she wasn't in a good state. Her head was upside down and she was "head surfing" in her tub...which I had no seen her do previously. When I picked up her she was limp. At that point it seemed whatever was wrong (obviously there was a list of issues but whatever was the main issue causing this) was going to be irrepairable. So I put her to sleep. RIP pretty girl.

I tried. I should have known better than to take any snake in that condition but...I dunno. I've been a vet tech for 9 years now and I always have that need to at least try. And if anything else I guess I was able to put and end to her poor quality of life. Still really sucks. Sad to see any animal in that condition...and especially frustrating when you think maybe you got to them soon enough, but they are too far gone.

But thank you very very much for your reponses. I didn't realize I could have (and should have) waited to feed her....I was so worried about her starving to death I didn't think she could go another week without eating. Although if she has gone 4 months without eating I'm sure another 7 days wouldn't have really mattered. I did speak with a friend that said she has purchased many Ghana balls over the years and she said some of them are in okay shape, but the ones that are in poor condition rarely make it....even with the best of vet care.

Thanks again guys...appreciate your guidance.

Hopefully if anyone else every acquires a baby ball in this condition your advice on this thread may help them as well. so thank you.

I checked with our vet this evening and that metro dose frequency was too much. Once at the lowest dose for an animal in her described condition and then a minimum gap of 7 days before administering again. With an emphasis on dosing in 7 days only if she was showing signs of recovery - otherwise 14 days.

Sorry to hear she didn't make it.
