Yafe - Albino Carpet Progression Thread

[dakski]

Yafe is having his 8th nebulizer/Baytril treatment as I write this.

So, far, I am noticing, small, but noticeable, improvement with him, especially over the past 2-3 days.

First, his breathing is better. No more wheezing, even after treatment. He is still popping, virtually every time he breaths, however, you need to hold his head to your ear to hear it. 4 days ago it was audible just holding him.

Secondly, he is beginning to flick his tongue. Before treatment, starting 2 days ago, he sticks just the fork part of his tongue out, not the whole tongue, however, that's a big improvement. After nebulizer treatment, he usually happily sticks the whole thing out.

I finished the anti-inflammatory yesterday. I don't think Yafe will miss it. He hated it. Tastes like honey, not mouse. Not his favorite.

I am not sure how normal his progression is. It's a 21 day treatment, so as of last treatment, he was only 1/3 of the way through. I am optimistic, but emailed the vet to get her thoughts at this point.

I should add that he’s much calmer and gentle when I take him out for his treatments now. He does not appear to be very uncomfortable and is acting more like a normal snake.
