Sad news about Leto (Snow corn)

[ladyjustice33]

Well, I had to bring Leto back to the breeder I use. He has been regurging since I got him the last week in August. I've been working with him, waiting 10 days in between feedings, feeding smaller meals. His temps are great. He hasn't shed either, which was a concern and the humidity is good too. He has only kept one meal down, all other's have come up. It's always on the 2nd day after feeding. He keeps it down the day of the feeding and the next day. I don't really like the vets around here, so felt it was best to bring him back to the breeder since I know him. He is doing a fecal on him, etc. I just can't imagine what is wrong with him and am very glad I kept him quarantined from the rest of my collection. I'm hoping all goes well and we'll have him back soon.

Darn, I hope he gets better and I never have to deal with regurgitation! Sounds very frustrating.

Poor Leto :( Hopefully everything gets taken care of...if it's treatable and he gets better, will you be getting him back?

[dawnhorn]

Thanks everyone and same here!!! I hope he is okay too. I'll post an update when I get one from the breeder.

Well, Leto is back home!!! Breeder really couldn't find anything wrong with him. He regurged once with the breeder and then kept one down for 3 days and he called me to come get him. So far he has kept it down, so I will wait 14 days and feed him again. I'm just going to feed him small meals for now and keep him quarantined still. Not real happy with the breeder, he didn't do anything I couldn't have done. He kept one meal down for me too. If he starts regurging again, I will just take him to the vet even though I don't have a whole lot of confidence in the ones in the area. Glad he is home though. He won't be going back.

I'm glad he's home. We will keep our fingers crossed!

I'm glad he's home & I hope he continues to keep meals down for you!

Wow....just found this post!!! Leto is doing fantastic!! My husband decided to treat him himself and wormed him with panacure very carefully in extremely small doses over a two month period. He has not regurged since, is on a feeding schedule of two rat pinkies per week and has shed twice. Poop is normal and he is acting like a corn snake should...active and putting on weight!!! One thing I can say about my husband, he never gives up on an animal and he is really good at taking care of sick animals!!!! Guess that was two things, lol!

Oh Yaaaaaahhhhhhh!! That's GREAT news!!

[Cor8et]

That's great news! I always like to see these kind of posts. Thanks for updating us. :)

BTW- is the name 'Leto' from Dune by chance? It sounds familiar to me but I can't remember where from exactly.
