Urgent please help: Peaches got hurt

[Godzilla78]

Thank you for clearing that up, I'm sorry for over reacting and accusing you of being angry. We have tiny mouse pups we can try, but like another user mentioned before I am worried that if I inject the prey and it takes a while to digest, I could end up overdosing Peaches which I really don't want to do.

Just to clarify. If I can get peaches to eat a smaller meal (like the small weaned rat) every, say, 5 days would it be okay to give metacam orally, as there would be food in her stomach?

I don't know, I am not a vet. What did the vet say to do? If the vet just said, "just feed it every day," then what did they say to do, if that fails?
In my opinion, I would say YES, feed the small weaned rat every 4-5 days, and give the metacam orally as Zina illustrated. It makes sense from the vet's advice that the metacam be given on a full stomach, and it makes sense from a ball python keeper's advice that most pythons won't eat every day.

But again, ask the vet. "what do I do? The snake won't eat every day, just like the ball python experts said!" Either force-feeding a tiny prey item, or naturally feeding every 4-5 days, along with daily oral administration of the metacam dosage seems the only options to me.

GOOD LUCK to your booper! I had a snake get stuck in the lid once also, and it was so scary! The injury was not nearly as bad as your case though. That injury looks pretty nasty, but I am glad there are no broken ribs! That is great news, the vet gave you! I am not saying you have a bad vet, they may be a great vet. I am just saying it seems they have very little knowledge or experience with snakes, based on the feeding advice. Reptiles require a specialist type of vet.
