Lump developed on My snake

SnakeAround said:
I guess since she is eating, there is nothing stuck in her stomach... I would not expect her to eat if there was.. but at the other hand, I have never seen a lump like this before either. Can't be comfortbale to say the least. Weird how there are 4 bulges..maybe something is wrong with her belly muscles? Sorry can't help speculating but really, it could be anything. Hopefully you'll find a vet who at least examines her. It's not like a snake totally doesn't 'work' like other animals.... some basic stuff should be covered by any vet.

Yeah all She did was squeeze Her lump for about 2 mins saying, well She doesn't seem like she is in pain. As long as She is acting normal don't worry. I was like OMG . You could tell She didn't like pinkie at all.. But a puppy She was so sweet.. Makes Me so mad some ppl act like just because they are snakes they can't be loved and show love. My Pinkie loves curling up on My lap and lay there while We watch tv or I get a blanket and cover all but her head and She will stay there forever. LOL
 
I think it is ridiculous to say oh hey, she does not seem to be in pain, just ignore it..... we want to prevent them from being in pain!
 
I don't know how anyone could not be willing to bend over backwards to help an animal they cant help themselves. I don't recall any animals completing or even attending med school. It's obvious something is wrong from your picture. IMO if I'm a vet who is supposed to care about animals in order to properly care for them, red flags are popping up all over the place. I see something not normal like that, I'm doing all I can to figure out the problem for my client, but more important for the well being of the animal. To bad its illegal to choke people or I'd offer my services free of charge. If you don't mind I want to show that picture to my vet, maybe he can recommend someone in your town who doesn't mind rolling up the sleeves and getting the hands dirty to help. Again I hope all works out for you and your baby I know its tuff to deal with pets become family.

Oh Thank You so much. I live in Lone grove Oklahoma. She didn't care about Her for sure, But She sure still charged Me for the visit.. I as well get so mad about ppl like Her. It's a shame but there are People out there who are mean and cruel to animals they are scared of or just don't understand them.
 
Okay, yeah if you can at least consult a good vet, they can tell you what should be done. If I didn't have any choice I would go back to your vet and spell it all out for them, tell them exactly what procedure you want done and what you expect from them. I have a pretty good reptile vet that you could probably call, let me know if you're interested and I'll give you the number.
 
"...all She did was squeeze Her lump for about 2 mins saying, well She doesn't seem like she is in pain"

And they charged you for this service? I'd demand my money back, that's ridiculous, they're supposed to be doctors. If they have no idea what they're doing they need to refer you to a specialist.
 
One of my babies from this year just got a lump on his back which he didnt have when i adopted him out to the school .it doesnt seem to hurt him but each day it seems to get bigger. It feels soft to me and kinda reminds me of this sitch. But dont now what it is. That is why i was looking then came across this one
 
Well I was thinking at first maybe she was just getting fat but it grew and only that one place.. It has gone down some but still has not gone away. Here are more pix of it if anyone could help?

I have had My girl for over 9 years now and about 6 months ago She started getting a lump by or at Her belly. It has grown a lot where it looks like She has eaten a rat. It does not seem to hurt Her. She is eating , shedding and drinking fine , but it is worrying Me. I took Her to a vet and She couldn't help Me at all.. Only said if She doesn't seem like She is in pain don't worry about it.. Well I am worried. She is My baby and part of My family.. Does anyone know what it could be? I want to thank anyone who could help Me out..

Naias I sent that pic to my vet. he said it could be as simple as trauma or something worse but without an exam he wouldn't want to speculate any further he said he will email me a good vet in Oklahoma for snakes after he consults the registry for that state. the second he sends me the Info I'll forward that to you.

Good, I'm glad someone can actually take the time to examine her. Some vets can be downright disappointing.
