Glad she got through the shed process anyway. Even veterinarians don't have all the answers. They can rely on years of documented case studies and 99% of the time they have an idea of the cause and possible treatment of a problem. My son had two older female corn snakes that were eating, but still losing weight. One died and he took her to a vet for necropsy and cultures but the vet found no reason for the death. The vet wanted him to bring in the live one so he could take samples and send them to the lab. Again nothing was found no internal parasites, no coccidia, no crypto, and no explanation. That one died too. Since the two females were sisters, he could only surmise that it was some heredity issue.
