Thank you, I have taken her to a vet who specializes in small pets and exotics with a particular focus on snakes.Originally Posted by Bogertophis
I've seen "too many" BPs with retained eyecaps and damaged eyes over the years- at this point, your best bet would be taking her to a veterinarian who specializes
in herps...their opinion & suggestions would be far better than we can do here as regards her health & future, especially since we aren't even seeing the snake.
When I have more time I'll read your full post...it's a little hard on the eyes ("wall of text")and it's time for my dog's walk & our dinner.
He seems to know what he is doing, but I have had my own horror stories with vets who “have a reptile focus” and I’ve read enough of other people’s to be pretty wary. He instructed me to set up a follow up appointment after her first shed with me because it was too difficult to even see her eyes with all of the retained eye caps.
She just shed and shed all of the eye caps it looks like, so the appointment is scheduled for the 15th.
I’m a technical writer by trade, so I’m not surprised that I went too far with my original post. I tried to provide as much information as possible. If I could edit it, I would add more paragraph breaks for ease of reading.
