(I was away from the barn when it first happened and went to see my horse and was horrified) Vet came out and treated it ASAP. I've also called for other issues and been told to wait it out. I trust my vet.

The thread was deleted, and for good reason Marrissa. Any one on the internet could have read it and taken that advice upon themselves. I understand coming on here to ask advice if you think your snake may be sick or not 100% if it is a weekend when you cannot get to a vet, or late at night but everything medical should be taken with a pinch of salt. For example, raising temperatures with a suspected RI for someone who isn't sure what to do but I think no further.

I'm very new to this hobby and this forum has really helped me through the help of very experienced people. I try to help others where I can too from what I've learnt as much as I can.
