Pumpkin Spice died..

I came home today and I thought she was dead. She wasn't moving, I picked her up and she moved a little, but she had no energy whatsoever. It was about 8:00pm when I called the vet and then rushed over. This isn't snake relevant, but I got completely lost and it was just terrible. I got onto the wrong highway, and somehow got trapped in a truck weighing station, and it was so dark, and i couldn't see where I was going. All this time, i was so worried she would die on the way. It took my 45 minutes to get there. I got her there, and they said the prognosis was terrible, but we could give her a shot, either way. I decided to have them give her a shot, and have her stay over night just to make sure she was okay. The doctor just called me a few minutes ago to tell me that she died.

She said that PS smelled funny, like she was decomposing inside. She probably had an infection that came about from the Blister Disease. She couldn't tell right from down, and when the Dr lifted the scales, she could tell that she had been bleeding, and the infection may have caused hemorrhages.. Anyway. I just wanted to say that. just really depressing.
 
sorry to hear man thats terrible my corn looks just like yours and im worried for it to because i gave it a fuzzy when it wasnt ready for it. Now im worried for its life and he/she isnt being very active but hopefully it will get back on track. anyways sorry bout ur loss man i suggest u get another and start over make sure it looks healthy good luck!
 
I'm so sorry to hear that. Losing a pet is always a terrible experience. my thoughts are with you.
 
I am so sorry to hear of your loss..I also lost a snake today..my baby snow corn Syn..I found him dead and judging by the smell, he might have been dead for about a day...Losing a pet is a terrible feeling. I know you didn't have your snake long but always remember the good times you had and keep PS in your memory..Rest peacefully Pumpkin Spice :0(
 
Oh goodness, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like a fluke and I hope you decide to stay with the hobby. Good thoughts headed your way.
 
Thanks very much everyone. My vet (who is just great) called the pet store and told them about the snake. They are offering to give me a free one. I'm just not sure if I want to get another one from them, or just not another one just this soon.
 
Hey, sorry to hear about you losing the snake. *HUGS* Do what feels right to you, that's the best advice I can offer. If you feel you need to wait, then do so, there will always be plenty of snakes out there for you. :) *HUGS again*

Good luck and once again I'm really sorry that you lost your baby.

Em.
