Re: help needed, yesterday!
Your all great, but in my frantic note I accidently mislead you on having the snake. It is at the store, in a plain aquiarum with wood chips and a water source. I questioned the owned about it, what they have tried. Course giving it pinkies, rejected them. They tried putting a pinky in a syring and forcing it in the snake. No go. Last week their last atemp was to force a pinky in its throat, but said they removed it because it was too weak to swallow ir spit it out. I asked her if they tried feeding anything esles( I had no idea what), some soft mix, past its breathing tube and into it stomach, some would probably stay down. She basically said no use. She has just written it off. I saw it, behind a water dish that it can't seem to get out from, so weak it rolls its head, can't lift, but muscle movement shows it wants to move. I tell ya, about put me to tears, its little eyes are clear, it is just so sad that it has just been left. Anyhow I offered to buy it if I could find some way to help it. She said it is going to die, but if I want it I could have it. I didn't take it, I agree I didn't want to move it from bad to worse. Even though my heart ached to try to comfort it, though I know you can't a snake..persay like a sick dog. I first needed your imput. To see if there is a food substitute, like the ensure. I can't tube her, but I am sure my vet would assist me. She is more then a $$ vet, she gives meds, service and advise without cost. But I felt you guys are a bigger mind-pool on BP's then anywhere, and I can take the info to her. If she isn't shooting in the dark, she won't cost so much. But I want to help the snake, not suffer it more. Thanks for the $$ assist offer ladywhipple02, that is really sweet, and I didn't make it back to Indiana, abusive ex is a problem.
I offered to buy the BP to try to help it, even though I knew I needed to find out first if there was a possibility it could be helped, because also my mind was rushing through the "what if" it is sick, give something to my snakes and so on. I was really dealing with a lot, and when I wrote you I had 30 minutes until the store closed. I half fear my prominent notice of the BP and its condition will lead them to kill it tonight. But its suffering will be done, though I saw them feed damaged rats/mice to a monitor they have there. I can't help but wonder.....
When I get off work tomorrow, if I stop at the store I will do so with the intent to go for ensure, and the vet. I am sure she will assist with a rescue. If I bring it home, I will isolate it in a shed I have that is clean and safe for it to recoup if it can.
I tend to panic. And appreciate darkangels understanding. All of yours understanding and help.
I kind of come and go on here. I am not real knowledgable on snakes yet. I have trial and errored and followed advise, and my BP Chocolate is just beautiful. Got the habitate good now, and he would smile if he could. He is loveable, eats in a snap and prowls at night. I have a yellow butterfly albino corn...what I was told it is. But it is a precious to me as any of my pets, I finally have its home so it no longer tries to hide under the newspaper, so I think he smiles. Just wish he would kill his prey before he eats it!! It squeaks all the way down! My hermit crabs are fine, but the biggest keeps changing shells, between 2, though he has choices, he like the old and knew. My cat is fat and sassy, and the hairless dog is fine but apparently has a UTI due to her allergies and her paw licking caused a bacteria that caused the infection. Now on allergy meds and atnibiotic, she will be fine too. No I can't spell, my brother teases not to change or use spell check, he has a game now called.."sister speak" and there's points for who figures out the word first.
I love my little zoo, and alone and working fulltime, a sick baby will be taking on a lot, for its sake if I feel the chance is worth taking it from its present situation, I will. Not to get a free snake, but to save one. It is a baby, hatchling about 2 months I have seen it there, and however old when they got it I don't know. You guys probably have a better guess then me.
I cherish all you help and advice, no offense to any of it. Frankykeno, you 100% right, sometimes somethings just need said. I wish I hadn't mislead you guys with my rush to get to you for help.
Your actually my second family, more of a bond through love of snakes and critters then I have with others.
I will let you know the outcome. I do worry it is a trainwreck on its last days.
