She has never been in contact with any other snakes. I handled some wild rat snakes outside a few times but, I was sure to wash my hands well before getting close to my python.

When she had mites I reached out to others for help since it was my first time dealing with them. I used prevent a mite and some type of insect killer. I would best describe this insect killer as a thin, yellow, square shaped piece of material. I cut a small piece of it and put inside a little cage I made. Then, I put this tiny cage inside her cage and suspended it from the ceiling. I also soaked her daily with a few drops of dawn, cleaned her entire cage daily and vacuumed the room daily. To this day, it was one of the most stressful times of my life. I was very concerned about using the insect killer but that is what finally did the trick. Plus, I was told by multiple people that it was okay as long as I didn't have any arachnids near by. If the insect killer were to harm her, I think it would have happened a long time ago. She got the mites from some bedding I bought at petsmart. That's the only was she could have because she didn't have any when I first got her.

Since there is no way to treat both nidovirus and IBD, I don't see much sense in testing for it. Especially when he test is inaccurate and in no way will help the python.

I'm going to make another vet appointment for an examination and discussion. If they are unable to convince me they can get her better, I will have her euthanized. This has been going on too long and things are getting worse. I feel like I'm holding a close to dead snake, she has barely moved at all in 3 days. I'm sure she will stop eating soon or start regurgitating. Why let it get to that point?

If I were to test for these viruses, I would have my vet do it. They told me months ago it will require sedation since she has to be swapped about 8" down the mouth. They also told me the test is not 100% accurate. I can also do the CT scan as a last try.

What do you guys/girls think I should have my vet do? Is there anything I should mention/ask my vet when I go? I am definitely 100% taking her to my vet this week.

Thanks for the support,
