Brooks Kingsnake strange digestion and behavior? (diarrhea and biting himself)

[Bogertophis]

i know there isn't much anyone can do but thank you for replying to this thread today. I don't know what made me create an account this very day and something like this happens. I am going to call the vet tomorrow when they open and maybe see to an emergency visit. The vet I go to has an emergency 24 hour thing and if you have an emergency the doctor can come in after hours. The emergency visits are more expensive but i don't care at this point. I was wondering if I should maybe wait until he poops so I can have a fecal sample just incase the cloacal wash is any different. I don't know if anything neurologically wrong is going on despite his bacterial infection. Thanks again! I am about to feed him so hopefully this helps.

I'm glad you joined us, & I sure hope you can get him the right kind of help- I'm not sure about the fecal sample but I suspect the cloacal wash is less effective for something like parasites, so you might just wait & see how he is in the morning after eating...I do think a fecal sample (fresh) would help, & might be worth waiting for, especially since his digestion is pretty fast. Always better if you don't need to do an emergency visit too.
