Lump developed on My snake

I know what you mean, luckily my vet keeps boas and tortoises as well, she absolutely loves my Dumerils, I've never had to take a corn snake in but she used to breed those as well. She stopped because all of the inbreeding and deformed babies being created for pretty colors. When we couldn't get my Dumerils boa cured of his RI she got on the phone with a specialist while we were there lol. She even did some research on the species after our first visit because she wasn't very familiar with that particular snake. I was going to give you the number but it seems like others helped you more, your sweet little snake will finally get the care she needs.

I do hope this one is like Ur Vet for sure.. I've had Pinkie for over 9 years so She is like My oldest child. LOL.. If You will I would like the number? It can not hurt to get different options now can it? ;)
 
Aw man... what an incompetent vet! They should never have charged you for that and should have told you they don't know anything about snakes! I hope your little one does better.
 
Sad news , it was cancer. I had to put Her down. I so wanted to just take Her home w/ Me and let Her live Her life out , But then thought, how could I do that to Her? It was the hardest thing I ever had to do... I miss My girl very much.
 
Aw too bad but to be honest I was not expecting a good outcome..... sadly it happens to all of us sooner or later.
 
Sorry to hear that it's hard to just let them go. Knowing what the rite thing to do in that situation is even harder. You did the rite thing no more suffering for her. Knowing you gave her the best care and love rite to the end should make you happy I'm sure she was. I hope you will not give up on snakes. It's tuff to get another one with her loss still fresh in your heart. She can never be replaced but she can be remembered through the love and care you give to another. I wish you the best.

Thank You for Ur kind words.. I still cry when I think of Her and see Her empty cage.. As to giving up on snakes? Never. I still have 6 others , but none will ever replace Pinkie .. She was My first and My Baby girl..
 
I'm sorry for your loss. I was wondering how this was. Every pet is special and I know what that type of loss feels like. Will have good thoughts for you and the rest of your family and pets.
 
I'm so sorry. I lost one to cancer a couple of years ago. It always feels like you could have done more, but honestly, you absolutely pulled out all the stops for her. At least she didn't suffer drawn-out suffering. That was a very brave decision on your part.
