Regurge Or Poo? I Know The Answer!

So I found a petrified something in Maizey's cage this morning. It had that pinkish glow of a regurge, but I didn't want it to be that. I threw it in the trash. So I've been worrying all day (I swear that snake is going to die on me from regurging and there is nothing I can do...) and when I got home I dug it out of the trash. I'd had this revelation that if I melted it under running water, if it was a regurge, the skeleton would be revealed. And it was. So that's a way to tell. :headbang: :cry:

Wow. That's gross, Nanci. But, I must admit, rather clever, and quite dedicated.

Sorry to hear about the regurge. :mad: That stinks.
 
I'd really hoped she'd stopped, after 4 or 5 very small meals. I guess not. There's nothing left to do except watch her shrink away to nothing eventually.

Aw, don't think that way Nanci! I'm sure she'll be fine.
With an owner like you, I don't see why she wouldn't be.
 
HE will be fine :p

Toyah has a hoggie that was regurging every meal for months... Its doing ok now from what shes told me. Gaining weight etc.

You just need to keep trying... Maybe he has some sort of parasite again?
 
No, Maize got dewormed and had a clean fecal. The vet says there is stuff that can cause it- enlarged heart, diverticulosis, which is $$$ to diagnose, and then you can't do anything about it anyway. So she's (he's) been eating a 10 to 11 gram fuzzy every 5 days, which isn't enough, but doing ok, I thought...Till I found the regurge from who knows when this morning, and now Maize has refused to eat tonight. She'd (he'd) been so starving that she never refused...

That's too bad, Nanci. It doesn't sound like you have any choice but to stay your present course. Hopefully he won't waste away to the point where you'll have to euthanize him. :(
 
sorry to hear that Maizey is regurging again. Ihope you can get him to stop regurging for good and soon.

This has me thinking Nanci.

Last week I reported feeding Roxanne 1 ½ fuzzies on Saturday, June 23rd.

I found on Wednesday, June 27th, what I thought at the time, the ½ fuzzy I fed her. Unfortunately the trash has been taken out, but I haven’t fed her since the 23rd.

I will be leaving to go out of town this Wednesday, July 4th and won’t be returning until Tuesday, July 10th.

So was it a regruge or just some fecal matter??? I’m treating it as a regurge, but only the ½ fuzzy…I have never heard of such a thing. I’m concerned about leaving her for so long without at least a little something to tide her over with.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Steve
 
Try This

Do not feed Maizey for at least 14 days. Then try to feed again.
Maizey is more liable to die from repeated regurging than not being fed for 14 days.
Wishing you luck.

Thank you. She's gone through the regurge protocol, including Nutribac, for every single regurge.

I'm thinking I might try grapeseed extract. Not that anything showed up on her gram stain...
