Eek! Help!

[snake_girl]

Just about 15 minutes ago I gave my BP (The one with the minor case of belly rot) .2 mls of her meds, for anyone that’s dealt with this stuff, its really, really sticky and gooey and as I was pulling the syringe out some of the discharge was dripping from the tip of the syring and got in her mouth, now she’s making wheezing noises, and has a little bit of saliva bubbling from her mouth I think it got in her wind pipe! This has never happened to me and I’ve done this sort of thing a lot. What should I do? Will she correct the problem herself? Or am I in deep crap?

Any advice would be great!

I have no idea, you could contact your local herp vet, or try goin into the chat room to get direct answers.

That happened to me at the vet. When mine was being dewormed. Did her belly turn red and her head swell up? The vet put her on oxygen and it took about 1 hour to bring her back to normal. She should be OK on her own.

Best of luck.

it probably won't go away completely until she sheds again, it may even take 2 sheds...
