    Re: update on casper..worried

    Listen, you are describing a worsening of her condition. If you think she is getting worse, bring her back to the vet. Nobody here can tell-- you are the one who will know best if she is the same or if she is getting sicker. I haven't had a sick snake but I have had a sick dog and a sick horse and YOU, the onwer, have to trust your instinct. You have to go out and push for the treatment she may need. You may just get the same opinion-- the vet may say, oh she will be fine. And then if you go home and you are still worried, you go back. Sometimes you will be a nervous nellie and your animal really will be ok and sometimes you will be RIGHT and you need to keep harassing the vets until they see what you see. Don't be afraid to do it. Don't be shy about it. You are the customer and you are pushing for your animal's sake. The vet can suck it up, roll their eyes, think you are an idiot, but they will take your money and they will examine her. Know what I mean?

    This:
    Shes taking very deep breaths constantly and stays out of her hide. She is breathing very hard. I dont know what else to do.. I love her and i dont want to loose her.. The vet said she is getting better but i dont think so.
    is what makes me think you have reason to worry.
