Taken a turn for the worst. I need help/advice..

He sure is a fighter. And I will fight for him!

So sorry to hear he is struggling. It seemed you had him on the right track. Hope it works out for him and you!

Oh man - I just read through all the posts - I hope he hangs in there! Good luck - I wish you all the best!
Go Widsor Go! You can beat it!

YAY so glad he is going to make it to the vet. Will he be staying over night? Will be thinking of you guys! Hang in there, hope you get some positive answers today!

oh Elle....I am so sorry he's not doing well...these pics broke my heart...I am hoping and praying that he is one tough little bugger and he pulls through. He's a real beauty, and you did a great job with him...we've all seen it in his progression thread. I really hope he's able to pull through.

Big huggs to you both

Hello, I dont know you and I'm new to this site been on about a week or so. I saw this posting and I dont know what kind of shape he was in before but I can see this is really tough on you and you have alot of people standing behind you anxiously waiting to hear the news that he is going to make it. I send you my best wishes and it is because of responses like this that make me glad I decided to join CS.com, When I saw the pics of him I got all teary eyed, I hate seeing things like this but we are all behind you and wish you the best.

By the way my name is Eli and I'm from S.C., nice to meet you all.

Windsor was euthanised today at 10.40am. The vet agreed that his condition was too far gone and he was unsaveable. The infection has most probably turned viral and theres no cure for viruses in reptiles.

I held him down and the vet just put the injection straight into his heart... I don't think I have ever witnessed anything so traumatic in my life. He went very suddenly. The vet said it was the quickest snake euthanasia hes ever done as he was gone in about 30 seconds, no twitching, not struggling. I know he knew what was happeneing, and I told him I was sorry. I hope he knew that I did everything I could for him.

Bye Windsor. I tried my best :'(

I'm paying extra for a necropsy as I need to know what the virus is and where it came from. He's been in a completely different house from the rest of my boids and a completely different room from the colubrids at my house. I just hope the pervious owner takes the necessary precautions with her collection too.

It's times like this when you realise how important quarantine is and I'm so glad he has not had the oppertunity to come into contact with the rest of my snakes.

So sorry Elle. You did your best, which is way better then most of us could do.

dude I'm a 20 year old male. And I dont tend to get upset alot. but I'm all teary eyed right now. I'm so sorry for your lose and he knows you did everything that you could.

I'm so sorry Elle, but I'm very proud of you for taking such wonderful care of him. You're a kind and caring person and Windsor was very fortunate to have been in your hands. *hugs*
