Re: Lethargic milk snake

Back from the vet part deux!

Vet gave me antibiotic injections for him, and told me to put anti biotic ointment on his vent (his prolapse had gone back in this morning, but he was still "gaping" from being swollen down there). If he starts prolapsing again, it's back to the vet, and he'll put in a suture to hold the vent closed until it heals.

When I picked him up yesterday night to check on his prolapse, I thought he was dead. He just hung there limply in my hands, not moving and not even flicking his tongue... then today at the vet he was bright eyed and bushy tailed. I swear, if he keeps this up, I'm just going to bring a rat with me to the vet and feed him there.
