My 3000g female normal who is building eggs at the moment (when it rains it pours) has a serious injury to her mouth.
I dont know what happened...she escaped from her tub twice in the last two days and Ive since fixed her escaping problem. But I didnt notice anything wrong when I put her back in her tub from her escape.
But when I checked on her yesterday her lower mandible lip was turned inside her mouth caught on some lower teeth. She had dried blood in her mouth and on her lips. Her nose looks bruised or has dried blood on it.
We were able to get her lip off her teeth but shes still holding her jaw funny. She constantly yawns trying to adjust it. I hope its not broken but her one jaw just isnt fitting right.
She has quite a bit of bubbly spit in her mouth and shes weezing.
I have an appointment for a vet tomorrow but the problem is we do not have an exotic animal vet here in town. So the vet looking at her will not be educated in herps, it'll be a shot in the dark. The nearest specialist is 3 hours away and its the weekend coming up...noone will be open and I work all weekend. The soonest I could get her to a specialist would be tuesday. The least I want my vet to do is give her some sort of antibiotics.
I dont know if she has now developed an RI or what with the bubbling spit but she looks like shes in pain.
I plan on putting some pedialyte in her water tomorrow but I dont know what else I can do to hold her over until tuesday. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreicate it.
