This is going to be fun...
She was not happy about getting the first two at the vet haha. Have to clean her mouth and two of these every 48 hours. Waiting for her culture to see if we can keep her on this antibiotic or not.
Poor Lily!

Re: This is going to be fun...
She pushes and her mouth is messed up.
Her hiding just now after I got home and cleaned her mouth. I think she's just done for the day!

Re: This is going to be fun...
She's pushing up against the enclosure I'm assuming? I'm sorry she's messed up and injured. Looks like you caught it before it got too out of control. Let's hope those Baytril shot do the trick. I feel bad for the big girl.

Re: This is going to be fun...
My vet tells me she's almost always been successful treating mouth disease as long as people bring them in early and fix any environmental issues leading to nose rub or improper temps. I had a pretty nasty case of mouth rot that was successfully treated a month ago with batryil shots and maxigard for a antiseptic. Hope that boosts your confidence!

Re: This is going to be fun...
Poor girl... Is there anyway of preventing this from happening or stopping her in the future? This maybe a stupid question, but i've noticed my JCP rubbing a lot in the mornings and the only thing I can think to do is let him out for a while...

Re: This is going to be fun...
My vet didn't seem overly worried. She said if she doesn't respond well enough she might do surgery on the area to open up or cut out part of the abscess. She seemed to expect that it wouldn't be needed though since it isn't that bad. She examined her mouth and the two spots above the teeth are the only areas.
I'm almost positive her cage is the problem and causing the pushing. It's just not big enough. I'm waiting on her 8ft to arrive and it should be here by the end of the month or early December. The other issue is that she try's to escape when she poops in it. If I don't notice right away she might go a few hours before I clean it. The infection is guaranteed to be from her pooping dumping her water and then pushing her face through the dirty water trying to get out. I have a dog bowl to try this time for the water.
I've covered the front of her cage to prevent strikes at the glass since she did that too. She's not in a high traffic area but she would strike if you walked by and hit the glass pretty hard. Overall her pushing went down after that but once she poops she tries to escape.

Re: This is going to be fun...
Poor girl, hopefully the bigger cage helps. Retics seem to be the most prone to pushing that I've seen.
I had to give injections to my 3'-3.5' boa and she wasn't fun, near the end of her course when she was being extra spirited she bucked the needle out one time. That really freaked me out. So I definitely feel your pain there (in spirit not physically because a 3' boa isn't gonna do much of anything haha).

Aww, poor baby. I'm sorry she's gotta go through that and I hope she's all better soon Riddick.

Re: This is going to be fun...
Maybe use a covered water bowl (with a hole in the lid for access) to prevent spillage?

Re: This is going to be fun...
Poor girl I've seen loads of people having this problem with their retics some said a smaller viv was better, others a larger I've heard that many different stories it's hard to know what to believe. Keep us posted on how she's doing and hopefully the bigger viv will be the answer

Re: This is going to be fun...
So yesterday she was already so irritated that I didn't want to mess with it too much to clean it plus it was pretty swollen. Today the swelling was down so I cleaned it up a bit better. I'm really happy with the way it's looking already.
Before the cleaning tonight.
And after. Still some puss left but it's looking a lot better already. You can see that the swelling went down better in this picture. Gets her second round of shots tomorrow. Should be fun.....
