Thank you everyone. He died in my hands... and I suppose I helped to euthanise him. But I could not prolong his suffering, and no matter what medication he was on, nothing could have been done.

from what i have read by you and others. You did better than any of us could have. I felt like I was there with you through the whole thing.
I'm so sorry. He was such a strong boy. You did an amazing job with him, and did the best with the situation you were presented. I'm sure you're feeling a lot of things... I want you to know that I can think of no better person to have taken care of him.

I'm so sorry to hear he didn't make it. You really did a great job with him! I know how hard to lose one when you've tried so hard but you did the right thing. It was good you were with him at the end, if snakes can feel comfort, Windsor was at ease because you were with him.
Doing the right thing is rarely ever coincides with doing the easiest thing. It's a good thing Windsor was with someone who had the strength to be with him every second of the way, doing everything you could, and ultimately the best thing. Knowing you did the "right" thing won't help to ease the pain, but try not to get too down on yourself.
Today I will have a moment of silence and smoke my last lucky strike (filter) in honor of Windsor.
That is a terrible shame Elle, though I know you made the right decision for him at the end. He'd been doing so well there for a while and then to have it regress to the point where nothing could be done for him - simply tragic.
You are correct too, things like this are good examples of why quarantining new animals is the best thing to do in the long run. Even though it can be a pain and adds more work in some ways - it can prevent something as terrible as what Windsor had from spreading to an entire collection.
Let us know how the necropsy turns out and be sure to savor a glass of wine in Windsor's honor - he was a beautiful critter and he will be missed.
