Did you happen to not catch the RI at all and then he passed? At what stage was he in physically? (popping, mucus, open mouthed breathing yet?)

I ask because I would like to compare to the state my snake is in. Although the vet says it seems minor, to me it really does not seem like something to take lightly.
I caught it almost immediately. Took him to the vet and got shots to give him. Got him back home and within 30 minutes you could tell something was wrong. He was panicky and moving around really fast then just started twisting and contorting himself until he was gone. He must have caused internal damage while he was twisting because blood came out of his mouth. Took him back to the vet after he died and the vet pulled a chunk of mucous that had lodged in his throat and and said it must have gotten stuck and suffocated him. Who knows, but it was gruesome and not something I wanted to see. It all happened in about 5 minutes.
