Need her to regurgitate asap! Please help!

[FluppleWott]

My two year old bci ate her reptile carpet last night while I was asleep after feeding her a large rat. I suspect she consumed it after smelling rodent on the carpet. I'm terrified for her well being and cannot see a vet today. How can I encourage her to regurgitate her carpet asap? Please help she's very swollen

Oh no! As great as we are, this is not something that can be resolved on an online forum. Please get her to the vet as soon as you are able to.

That's my plan. I was hoping someone had tips on how to deal with this in the meanwhile

UPDATE: Thank goodness!! She regurgitated it on her own and I am so thankful. I will likely still take her to get a check up to make sure everything is fine. Lesson learned: Reptile carpet is not good for snakes, no matter how it's marketed! Be weary of whatever products you purchase for your animals, please!

Good to hear I wouldn't feed for a good 2-3 weeks for sure

Guess I am not needed here. Everyone else got it all handled

I'll probably wait 3 weeks. After she began becoming really overweight (I had no intention of breeding her so this was concerning me) I switched her to one large rat every 2nd week early this year. Since then she's maintained a healthy size, still a bit fat but mostly muscle. So I'll give her plenty of time to relax before her next meal.
