Re: Ugh.. I think she's sick

Now now everyone, let's not get frustrated here. The OP has acknowledged there is a problem and that she is working to fix it. It will just take her a little bit of time. We can not hope to understand any previous personal issues which have resulted in the current situation, but rather must look to the problem at hand. Yes, housing them together is certainly a bad idea, especially if one is ill (as seen with the mites) and for many other reasons which have been mentioned both here and in her previous thread.
The question at hand however, is whether or not the snake should be taken to the vet. First, to the OP, could you please tell us what your temps are in the enclosure?
Also, if she regurged the mouse as quickly as you made it seem, it may not be entirely the result of a heating issue. You have had other concerns about her general health since you brought her home, so in this instance I think perhaps it would be wise to take her to a vet. Especially if you have never taken her before. At the very least it could bring you peace of mind if the vet concludes there is nothing wrong with her. However, do NOT take her to work with you and then to the vet. That kind of stress will not help her situation in the least if she is ill. Rather, call the vet and see what times they can meet with you that work with your schedule. Many vets also work weekends, so you could also take her then. But only take her from home straight to the vet and back. If she is ill, she will need the least additional stress you can manage.
However, if the earliest you can take her is Monday, she will likely be okay until then. Just keep a close eye on her and if she seems to get worse, take her in ASAP. If you have taken her to the vet before, and the vet cleared her, but this new symptom has arisen...you can also likely wait until Monday or so and she will again, likely, be fine. As in all other possible scenarios mentioned, keep an eye on her and if you notice her condition worsening noticeably, take her to the vet at the earliest possible time.
I hope this helps.
THANK YOU!!
That makes sense. I certainly don't want to stress her as she looks a bit shaky. Thanks!
