It was feeding night tonight, and everyone ate just fine. But as I was putting my pewter back in her viv, I noticed something odd...and looked closer and found this:
I called the vet and they don't have any openings till next week, and they said to just go ahead and bring her in when I bring our bird in for an airline certificate. They put me on stand-by in case of a cancellation.
So my question is, what can I do in the meantime to "help" her? I've got Betadine, Neosporin, and other first-aid type of things.
She ate fine with no hesitation, and I've since placed her in a clean viv with paper towels in a warmer room. The pressure from everything is so great, her left eye looks like a water bubble. The lens cap is all filled with fluid and her eye is pressed back in her skull.
I hope my prodding in her mouth didn't upset her enough to cause her to regurge. After a while, she gladly went limp and let me work, never seen anything like that before. She just stopped struggling and laid there, no restraint required. And yes, she was still alive. Breathing and a tongue flick occasionally.
And here I was bragging I've never had an incident of anything with my snakes last week. Blech.
And advice you can give is gladly welcomed.
