Help!!

[scoobyark]

My snake has runny poo! No blood. Does this sound like worms? Im freaking out. Today is also the day he is supposed to eat should I feed him when he is sick if he will eat? Since I have had him he has never skipped a meal. I have had him for about 4 months. I estimate his age to be a couple of years from what I have been told by previous owners. As far as I know he has never been to the vet.
So Ive been calling around trying to find a vet the closest is about an hour and a half away. $60 for the visit fecal included. But I won't have any $ till Wednesday. Will the snake be ok to wait a couple of days? I guess I wanna know what sort of meds should be prescribed (if it is in fact worms) and a guess of what treatment might be like.

First of all Breeth!!! Balls are really hardy animals. Second if Wednesday is when you can take it to the vet it should be fine. As for meds..It depends on the parasite that your animal has. If you have more than one animal start quarantine procedures ASAP. if you only have the one then your fine. Treatment is an oral wormer given via tube. Some can require more than one round or worming so be prepared for that if it is needed.

hope that help.

Aren't you afraid that thing will kill you in your sleep?

You must have overheard my mother saying that to me. She does live in NW Arkansas.
