please believe me when i say i am in no way having a go at you.im trying to give you some light at the end of the tunnel.all based on truths and facts from a vet that is most likely one of the highest qualified vets in the country right now.i cant remember the letters after his name but his jobs are as follows.
my local vet
3 days a week at edinburgh zoo
the on call surgeon for london zoo
special lecturer zoo and wildlife at nottingham universaty
i honestly believe that your vet for all his best intentions has got it wrong.im not even slagging the vet as in his heart of hearts he believes what he's saying.nor am i saying i am more intelligent.im talking from being with a mate every step of the way when dealing with his boas ibd.he didnt drive so i took him to every vet appointment.i gleamed all my information from my vet who talked us through every possibility and the outcome.as ive said on numerous occasions i am so lucky to have this guy on my door step.you have done evrything humanly possible mate.your also still not giving up hell your fumagating your snake room daily.i really do feel for you mate as i had a tiny hint of what it was like returning to my collection thats 100% morelia.thinking what if i carry it to my lot.i had helped my mate and the vet handle the snake.she was strong and all over the place even biting her own body.i couldnt knock my mate back for a lift so i just kept thinking its going to be ok (after numerous showers and a day inbetween,before i went near mines).i always remember the vet saying to my mate,your carpets will let us know before the test results come back (results take a while).so feebs your big girl is still ok and thats been 11 days since you first posted the bloods symptoms.21 days is usually the max a carpet survives,so the signs are good mate.lets hope it turns out to be a wrong diagnosis.
