bad reaction to my snake's meds??? help!!! - Page 2

I would completely find a different vet. If there was even a possibility of a reaction from the first kind of medication, I would think they would try something else. The fact that it happened again just clearly says it is a reaction. The slime is from the RI...I'd find another vet for sure. I hope things work out!

OK so this is a picture of my snake. she no longer has the blood, but her color is dulled & a few of her scales by her belly turned red. can't see it in the picture tho.
((sorry about the dirty look the paper towels. its actually very clean. she had some bedding from her tank stuck to her belly when i moved her.))

Did you pull too hard on her shed? I can't see why she would be bleeding by her head. Can we get a better pic of the head area?

Is it me or does that snake look constipated?

Yeah, the area by the vent looks very swollen

belly scales turning red can be a sign of scepticemia in snakes

its the way the pictures been taken,its a piece of paper towel thats making the tail look that way (the tails partly underneath the paper towel)

merely pointing out its the way the pic's been taken,that gives the impression of a wierd looking tail or swollen vent

I keep looking it over and over... still don't think it's the paper towel covering part of the tail

OH, well from the picture im not sure if thats the case then, unless you saw it without the weird looking tail, i still think something might be wrong then, as i dont see any paper there (though i know cameras can distort images pretty significantly)

Gungirl · 02-13-12, 02:07 PM

I think something more is wrong- the vent, the shed, everything! There is clearly an issue near the vent. The tail is not hiding under paper towel. If you enlarge the picture you can not see any wrinkles in the paper towel. The snake is backed up big time.

Go see a better vet that knows what they are doing.

Wolfus_305 · 02-13-12, 02:07 PM

Hmm i see what you're talking about with the tail. it looks really odd to me. my bp's tail isn't like that. I would get that checked out too.

I really think that this snake needs to go to a good reptile vet ASAP to prevent further damage and to find out what is wrong and fix it.

Does anybody else see the pale, wrinkly skin near the head? is that old shed that didn't come off or just distortion from the picture?
