When we brought her to the vet, she seemed to think it was an inner ear infection. (She thought that because of her motor control issues, and always turning to the right, as apposed to the left...) I still think it may be a bit of a RI, too... but I'm just going on things I have read here and in other books/forums/FAQs/etc.

I have been thinking about injections - I don't know if we could do it - but I only say that because I've never done it before. I never thought I would be helping my son open up his pet python's mouth to give her medicine, either....

What would I need to know in order to do that? Would the vet supply me with the needles?

If we do a feeding tube, where do I get that? Would a pet store carry something that small, or would I need to get that from the vet as well? If I put it down her throat, how on earth do I do that?? I almost think I would be more nervous about getting it in the wrong place than giving an injection.. ?!?

I sure hope this is over soon. she seems to be getting a lot better, but her head control still isn't what it should be..

She "relieved" herself today for the first time in about a month.. about the same amount of time as she's eaten.. and she was able to wrap herself around my husbands hand today, too.. That's a good sign..!!

btw - thanks to everyone who has left me feedback on any of my 3 threads - You guys have really been a GREAT support system!!
