Update...

So It's been home care the last few days since the last vet visit. My sister is willing to help me with Care Credit to pay for the X-ray. I was able to set an apt for Friday with my Vet. After that, I then will have a better idea of what I need or should do. In the meantime I will start looking for someone in the valley who may have better resources and willing to adopt.

Ok... some GOOD news!

I just gave him another warm bath. He's been bad. The bulge was HUGE, almost like it was going to explode. I missed taking a picture so I can't show you guys. Anyways... I was letting him chill in the tub and I started to massage him a little. He would get still and I could feel him flexing under me like trying to help. I then held him up by his tail so he stretched down, I wanted to test his brain and see if he's still responding with a good equilibrium. He was ok.. I think he sensed up and down but every once in a while he does this crazy head, tight neck, seizure thing... I dunno... But check this..





That right there is a nasty smelling, putrid glob of snake puke. As he was hanging, I rubbed his belly a little and he went crazy, started puking brown stuff all over the place. Smelled like a the edge of a dirty lake. You know... gross dead fish and rot. But it kept coming. After he calmed down, I put him back in his cage so he could chill out. I think that was the most stress he's endured lol

I washed the tub out... gross.... and refilled it with warm clean water. I wanted to kinda bathe him to get the puke off of him. He sat in the tank with his mouth open and I could see a puddle of that brown stuff. I decided to take him out again and see if we could get a little more out. Not much.. BUT... I got THIS instead!



He POOPED!!! I had him upside down hoping for puke and then I see a little red gopher peek out from the corner of my eye. Then he duked on me. :-)

I want to be excited, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I just put him in his tank and I am going to leave him be the rest of the day and check on him. I hope that was a good sign. I called the vet and left a message and I am waiting to hear back and see what he says.

That's it. Now, we wait again. I will update after the call and again thanks for reading.
