I cant believe it! I just found out that my baby boa Cha Cha has a respritory infection. I feel awful. Well, I just wanted to ask how much it usually costs to take a sick snake to the vet. :confused:Thanx.

Jeanette,

Where are you located in MI? If you are anywhere near Lansing - try Michigan State University... I believe they have a really capable Herp. dept. You might even get it a lot cheaper through the Vet. students etc. etc. If they couldn't help you, I know they would at least recommend someone.

It really varries from vet to vet. I have one that comes to my house for $35. Here is a link for you to find a vet in your area if you need it. What makes you think the snake is sick? Up the temps and the humidity. Also make sure the vet does a culture to see what drugs will work. Last just be ready for a long fight depending on what is wrong. I had a boa last year that was on shots for 2 months. Good luck.herp vet connection (http://www.herpvetconnection.com/)

J.J. Are you in the Detroit area? if you are what vet are you going to?

[J.J.]

umm, im in Grand Haven/ Muskegon area. Ferrysburg to be exact ( gosh i hate that name, Ferrysburg!!!) I went to Clarke Animal Hospital yesterday to a Dr. William Pals. I wasnt sure if i liked him, but i dunno. Anyways, he gave her two shots for the resp. Infection and he weighed her and stuff. So, she is going to be ok, she gets 1 or 2 more shots tomorrow!!! Poor baby, i think she is really stressed!! :( I love her so much!! Well, i g2g, thanx again everyone!
BYE!!

Good luck Kurzix, I'm Still trying to find a vet that treats Reptiles near us. Parkview might I have not checked. Last thing I went there for was to put the ferret to sleep. So I really wasn't in a Questioning mood. :(
