Possible kidney issue with ball python
I have a big guy I got from the pound about this time last year. Some may remember my posts about him, Ribs...aptly named because he was nothing but ribs when i got him. He went through severe starvation and dehydration. Finally got up to snuff, but recently has been peeing every single day.
It has been warmer weather, so i'm sure he's drinking more...but I tend to lean more towards a kidney issue. He had a huge urate ball blocking his vent, when i first got him, and his urates were orange and "not right" for a while once i finally got him full of fluids and food.
But, for the past couple weeks it's just a little bit of the white solids, and a lot of liquid. But every single night! He's a four foot snake, and he is actually peeing at least a quarter cup each day.
I've done some reading online and if he is going through kidney failure, there's not anything I can do for him.
He's active, alert, wants a girlfriend...but the guy is just full of pee!
Any clues, anyone?
