    Re: Everyone Help Me !

    immediate vet trip dude dont mess around anymore!

    and no peroxide at all!!!! if you wish to soak take a tub with some paper towel and mix water and some povidone-iodine solution just enough to soak the toweling..
    you can get this stuff at cvs walgreens and most real drug stores.

    either way call the vet right away!!

    My bp does not have blisters and everything else that the bp in question has which I don't think you have to be experienced to know that the animal needs medical attention.

    If you read some of my first posts, you will see that my poor bp was fed one pinkie every two weeks when I got her back in December. Since then I have increased her prey size and frequency and she is steadily gaining weight. It was suggested to me that the reason why my bp is so small is probably because she was fed so little before I owned her. And, she will be taken to the vet just as soon as I can afford it, not because I think she is under weight but because I want to make sure that she is in good health, PERIOD!

    Had we not just spent $2500 in the past few weeks on our dogs (one of which had to be put down because of cancer and the other has unknown problems), my bp would have already been to the vet! Unfotunately, I only get paid once a month so come Feb 13th, I'll be making an appointment! I'll be sure to let YOU know what the outcome was.

    Noob or not, I still think that a vet check for this man's snake is needed!

    Thank you for replying back! Maybe I shouldn't lose total respect for you, just yet!

    THANK YOU! It's been very difficult for my entire family but time will heal! As I'm sure you know, it's hard to lose a pet since they usually become part of the family and not just an animal that you house, feed and water (some hardly do that). I just hope that the other dog will be ok!

    I did kinda take offense to the NOOB remark as I didn't think it was necessary.

    Pat stated that he would take his snake to the vet if it happened again, not because he couldn't afford it right now. Granted he does not need to share his reasons as to why he is not taking it to the vet but it came across to me that the neosporin was working so that was good enough, or that maybe it was just a two time thing. Sorry, Pat, if I misunderstood you.

    I take the health of my pets very seriously just as I do the help that I get from the members here on this board. I can't tell you how many hours and days I've spent on the internet (mainly on this forum) to try to learn as much as I can for the benefit of my snake. (Acutally, it's not even mine, it's my sons but I have to support him in caring for the snake because he is only 13. And honestly, I'm scared to death of snakes!) I can't tell you how bad I feel because my snake probably is underweight but I'm doing everything I can to change that. Had I known that she was underweight when I bought her, I don't know if I would have bought her in the first place, or I would have bought both of them just because I felt sorry for them.

    Truce?

    Re: Everyone Help Me !

    I didn't see an answer to one of the questions...

    What is your heat source, and how are you keeping track of the temperatures?

    i will take her to the vet on my day off, that is tue or wed. its just i dont have the spare time like some people might, i work in the after noon n get home late. and the vet is a good distance away. but i will take her to make sure i give her best treatment for my snake. i dont want anyone to think of me as a bad person or im over here hurting my snake, just there are alot of reason i just couldnt at the moment. i felt with the dry tub and neosporin would help this 2nd time around. this is all a learning experience and i want to keep learning n hopefully get the opporunity to go to the next step, from hobby to breeder.

    again everyone, BIG THANKS for ur time, advice & help.
