RIP Clementine, my beautiful boa lassie. (Updated PM results)

I'm very sorry Elle. Please let us know as soon as you can what the PM results are. I do home your gut feeling is wrong this time and she didn't die from IBD. [[[HUGS]]] to you!

I really wish it was a gut feeling. But I'm afraid theres some seriously suspicious evidence, as well as Allistair now telling me there were inclusions in the blood tests done whilst she was alive. But apparently thats not always attributed to IBD. He says full organ pathology will either cornfirm it or god hoping find it's not IBD.

The results should be back within 4-5 days. But I am away to Bulgaria tonight so I have given them my boyfriends contact details so he can pass the information on to me when they get it. I have also arranged another appointment with Allistair to discuss the results and get some other boas in for testing as soon as I get back.

Thank you guys.
 
I'm keeping you and your collection in my thoughts, Elle, and praying for the best possible outcome. xoxo
 
Elle, I've got tears in my eyes as I type this. I was "off internet" in some small rural town in "Nowhere, AZ" when this thread came up...

You know how much I loved Clem from afar and I've said so in many of your photo posts of her and the others. I'm so sorry that she's gone and that your heart is hurting. Know that you're in my heart and thoughts. I'm hoping and praying for a negative result for IBD too.

Today - and probably the next few days - will be "Thinking of Clementine and Elle Days" for me. Know that you're loved, my Dear.
 
Wow. I haven't been here in a long time, and I'm so sorry to hear this. It was you who persuaded me to get my first boa constrictor, and I'm really devastated to hear you've lost one of your own. :C
 
Oh Elle...

This just breaks my heart. That little girl was a poster child for her species, and I so enjoyed watching her grow over the years! Moreso, I know how much you loved that little snake as your own child. Rest in peace little girl, and I will pray that the rest of your babies remain safe.

This seems to be a baaaaaaaaad week... :(
 
Elle, I'm so sorry that I missed this when it happened. I'm sure you did the very best for her that you could do and she truly was a lovely lass. I hope that the necropsy brings you some closure.

Elle, I hadn't heard or read anything regarding an update. I certainly hope you are well and that the news was good.

Still thinking of you...

I am just back from a horrible trip to Bulgaria. No doubt I'll post pictures in a new thread and share some of the awful stories.

Unfortunatley I can't speak to Allistair about the results until monday so I am waiting with baited breath until then...
 
I am sorry about Clem, Elle. I hope you get the results you want... crossing fingers!! Since it has been days since you have posted about this, I am feeling you did not receive good news? :(

Evidently Elle missed all that great stuff....sounds like she missed the cheap wine and great weather and scenery etc. No matter what, I hope the results from necropsy were okay.
 
The worst result possible. Conclusive evidence she died from IBD. I'll have the written copies by Wednesday. And of course the people I have bought snakes from and contacted asking if ANY of their snakes are showing symptoms or signs either wont respond or don't want to know.

The way I see it is I have my snakes for now. NONE are showing symptoms. I will be taking in one snake from the suspected source to be euthanised and tested for IBD.

I guess I can try to enjoy all the snakes I have for now. I am fully open, honest and responsible about all this. If any show symptoms, they will be euthanised and of course have a post mortem.

I will never be able to sell any snakes, breed any snakes and I am not stupid enough to buy anymore snakes.

And I guess thats all there is to it...
