Corn snake Vet- I made an emergency appointment with the vet, and according to him, because my snake has been struggling to eat (she has always been a fussy eater compared to my other corns I have never known this?),
What I thought was a mouse, is actually (he thinks is eggs), now ive been given calcium to syringe 0.3 ml twice a day, tomorrow and next three days she'll be receiving a injection called oxitoxine (please bare with my spelling I have mild/bad dyslexia), to help her ovary system have contractions to push this out
.
When talking to the vet, he explain to me because she is an "Albino" that she will lack the Vitamin D, which would normal be given through UV light, but this is dangerous to these type of snakes as this can cause blindness.
But what stresses me out was that I rehomed this snake and another from a home, that kept them together in a 5 ft Fish tank >.>, with no heat mat, and the other female is HUGE compared to this little lady(same age but completely different length), I got told these snakes were 5 years old and the vet looked puzzled. _._
Had eggs on 14/8 definitely infertile, Regurgitated a mouse, already offering smaller feeds (due to not accepting Large Mouse/Weiner Rats), Warm baths, I refuse to massage the area as I don't want to rupture the eggs inside...
TO THE POINT; Is there any thing I can give to my corn snake to help prevent this in the future, I'm lucky that I've managed to save money up for instances like this, if occurred but discussion with the vet made me think if she is a fussy eater and females are like chicken o.o? Vet wasn't very specific, and only kept relating them to bearded dragons powder stuff :S, and explained its harder to figure out a dose? What is available? If I can help not have this happen again, that is my goal for my stress and the snakes stress even though I must say she is handling very well, and doesn't seem agitated as I have seen her before (due to not being handled by previous owners, so would except a bite if im trying to give her calcium through her mouth _._)
