Lethargic milk snake

[shaunyboy]

i hope things work out for you mate.ive been treating my jag for over 9 months and still cant get him to stop producing bacteria free mucas in his lung.still nebulising him for 15 minutes twice per day.he's eating anything i put in front of him and is a healthy looking and acting snake.until you hear him clear his lung 1 or twice every couple of days you would never know he was ill.prolapses are a pain to deal with,your lucky to a point mate as sometimes prolapses can dry out and kill the part thats prolapsed.at least his is all good from that point of view.i'll have my fingers crossed it all goes well.
cheers shaun

I knew about the danger of prolapses, that's why he went right to the vet as soon as I saw it. If he's still refusing food in another week or if his prolapse/vent swelling comes back, he goes back to the vet (unless he's showing signs of going into shed). I think he'll be a very amicable snake once he's feeling better. He's very curious, and seems to have gotten over his fear of humans. He's not even musking anymore when I apply the antibiotic cream to his vent.
