Re: An Unfortunate Loss

=(

I saybwait till you get the results. If ot wasn't on you, maybe you could get another baby from the breeder at no charge. Even if it is from next season's babies.

So sorry you aregoing through this. Wish I could send you a cyber hug.

I'm not thinking it was the breeder's fault, surely I'd notice illness in my other snakes by now if she was ill, and if it was a congenital disease or she was born with a defect or something it's not his fault either. I won't ask for no charge on a baby, I think he's being quite generous giving me a discount considering I'd had her just over a month.

Thanks Minkness, I had her for only a short time and it still hurt she died. I wanted to watch her grow up and change, but I'm thankful I still have everyone else at least. If it turns out to have been the heat, I'll be sure to be more careful with the young rainbows. Sanji hadn't shown signs of the heated room being too much for him, but he's almost 1.5 years old now so he's not so delicate. He was raised in a room that wasn't heated, although he still faired pretty well in the summer without an A/C (I think the moss kept him nice and cool).

Re: An Unfortunate Loss

They may not be able to say for sure if it was heat. While rainbows and heat do not mix well, this often won't be apparent on a necropsy. (And if it was heat, the age difference would explain it...at 1.5 years they have much better tolerance for the occasional climate or water oops.) Fingers crossed they can give you some closure.

I'm thinking not as well, if the results come in inconclusive, I'm just going to have to assume it was the heat, without any other signs it's the only logical explanation. If that's the case, any future baby BRBs I get will be kept in a room without the space heater, at least until they're older, but I may just start keeping my BRBs separate from the others so they can have a cooler room.

They still didn't have my results Friday, but I called rather early while they were on lunch break. They said they should have gotten them in today, so hopefully if I get a break at work before 4:30 tomorrow I can call them, otherwise I'll have to wait until Wednesday. The tests are done in Raleigh, so I won't get the results until the Raleigh lab sends them in, which is why I haven't gotten them yet.

Re: An Unfortunate Loss

Good pathology work takes time. I'd rather let them have it and chase down all avenues, so as to have as complete an answer as possible.

How is your other noodle doing?

Yeah I called them today, and all they have is that they found salmonella and septicemia, which isn't surprising considering certain amounts of both are always present. As of right now, the histopathology hasn't come in so they can't even tell me where in the body they found the bacteria so as of right now it's not a probable cause. If they need more time, I could wait until next week to call, but they did say I could call tomorrow. I'm just worried about a disease in my other snakes, which is why I'm calling so often.

Everybody else is doing great so far, I figured since it would take so long to get the results, I'd go ahead and feed everyone. It's been 2-3 days and no one's showing signs of illness. The other BRB is also doing fine, I see him coming out at night and exploring like usual, nothing wrong with him physically. Not even a scale out of place.
