My bp hasn't eaten since middle of April... We've tried everything: we've bumped up her temps, we've taken her to the vets (she had a fungal infection in her throat, which we treated), we've fed her in her tank, out of her tank, with the lights on and the lights off. We've fed her large mice, medium mice, and we even bought rat pinkies recently, since she's so thin now... We've kept the prey warm, we've cooled it down to room temperature... She has a distinct triangle shape to her and I'm very, very worried for her... It's like she'll get the prey down most of the way, then suddenly seize up and freak out, and then she spits it up. Could this possibly be a worsening of the "spider wobble"...? She's not lethargic in the least, and when handled she's active. She just won't eat no matter what I do.
I know snakes can go a while without eating, but she was small to begin with... She's obviously hungry, and she doesn't hesitate to strike and coil and attempt to eat. What haven't I done that I can try? Should now be the time to learn to force feed her? I'd take her back to the vet's but I'm afraid stressing her out even more (she's been to two vets at LEAST 5-6 times in the 1 1/2 years we've had her) giving her more antibiotics will do more harm than good at this point...
I'm even throwing around the idea of giving her up to someone more experienced, if that will save her... I just can't stand watching her starve and I don't know what to do anymore.I'm desperate for help, and if I can't get her to eat very soon it will be back to the vets.
