i need some advice help :(

[DarkSmoke]

Hey Seamus,
No it isn't a problem, why do you think you need to?

hi man, everything fine?
just a tought that it would give the snake better time to heal from his previous regurg, dunno just a tought or there's no possitive effect of giving him more then 10days?

 

[snakewispera snr]

if your comfortable waiting 14 days and the snake isn't losing weight .......... Well, it wouldn't hurt.....

yes, im comftoble waiting a month if its better then 15days.

 

[francka]

ok i'll wait 10days, give a pinky head and in the mean time i'll try to aquire some probiotic. if this doesn't work , i'll visit the vet.

order the Nutrybac, is not very expansive even with the postal fee- it will cost you something like 15€ and is made for snakes. The probiotic for humans cost something like nutrybac.

yeah but as i said if they have it the hospital's pharmacy i can get it for free
so again any positive effects with longer rest then 10days before feeding? or negative ones?

Downside I see is that a snake that already has health issues will be forced to go without food. I'd stick to the 10 days. That way the snake can begin the process of healing while gettin nutrition. Other wise it may begin to break down muscle to "feed" itself.

hey dude, i hope everything works well for you too, my snake is in the same condition as your's i bought him at age 1years6months and he looked like 6months old. Just read you're thread and my snake looks like your snake in the photos you posted.

At that time i didn't know how in a bad condition he was since i knew nothing about snakes and i started feeding him big pinks and then fuzzies and regurgs happened like 4-5times until now and i had bad temps, and he's still alive after 4-5months he's been bought by me.

considering my mistakes and and that he's still alive, if you start on the good way unlike me with half pinks and good temps, you have a really big chance of survival

P.S i'll post this in you're threat too

Are you keeping track of your snake's weight? When I had all my troubles with Lil not feeding, I weighed her once a month so I could tell how she was doing without guessing.
As far as the interval before feeding again, I'd personally go for 14 days unless there was definate signs of deterioration. Does your snake look skinny? Has it lost weight? Is it shedding @ once a month?

 

[DarkSmoke]

last i weigh him was 1 month ago and he was 25grams, he's been like that for 2months or more can't weigh him this month since i moved out and i don't have a scale

 

[diamondlil]

Ok, but does he look any more skinny? If not, I'd really wait 14 rather than 10 days, because another regurge is riskier than an extra few days to heal and recover, IMO. PM on the way. Chin up, there are a lot of people on here rooting for you and for your snake to survive!

cheers mate, snake looks as usual but he always looked a bit skinny. whats PM btw?

 

[diamondlil]

PM is personal mail. If you look at the start of my thread called The Saga Continues you'll see how ill my snake Lil was and how much help I had from this forum a few years ago. This is how skinhy she was at one point.

 

[DarkSmoke]

Ok here's some news that got me confused. Today i discovered that the last regurg wasn't a regurg , but poop. Today he did the same thing he pooped with the orange stuff(last time was more pinkish) which when it dried up it turned up to be urates.
Does this indicate an infection or something or it happens? As far as my knoledge this could be something with the pee, cause my ball last time urated and peed and the urates turned yellow with the pee. Dunno just a tought.



that's the image tough not very clear.

 

[bitsy]

How did you find out it was poop rather than a regurge? Were you lucky (!) enough to see it come out?

When fresh, normal Corn poop should have a soft but solid dark brown/black part, with a clear liquid part. When it dries, the clear liquid goes white.

If that photo really is of poop, then it's as worrying as a regurge. It looks like a semi-digested pink.

Agreed. Poop from a snake on pinks should just look like bird poo

Well since i know how poop looks, and yeah it looked like bird poop exept that the white part was orange like the last time. i don't think its a regurg for 1 think because the snake hasn't been fed for about 14days and it already pooped, and then what i assumed it was a regurg, and now another poop and i know its imposible to regurg after 14days since it would kill it if not regurged quickly.

i know the orange part was urates because when i tried to scrape it of it turned into dust like urates does. and yeah that last time when i tought it was a regurg it was brown/black with liquid and then the white part was pink.

 

[bitsy]

Regurge or poop, something that looks like that emerging from either end 14 days after feeding, is definitely a cause for concern.

It really doesn't look like poop to me, but it could just be the blurring and inaccurate colours in the photo. I like to think I know a bit about snake poop as well, after 19 years of shovelling it. Urates from a healthy Corn are definitely not orange or pink. That poop ain't right...

 

[Asbit]

I agree with bitsy on this, any urates I have ever seen from a healthy corn were lacking color until it dried and then it was white. The only time I have seen anything else was when I had a very sick corn.
