Here's my male....I think this might be my first post.
With Animals like that, i hope you post more often.
Welcome to APS
im glad that the snake looks better , but lets get things straight .You wont beleive it, theres hope for Daisy, and even without xray,I had a guy come overb this afternoon and when we both looked at her,it was easy to see a succession of 'bumps' under her skin mainly around her neck/lung area.
After keeping her still, and feelingthem it was clear that these lumps were pockets of air under her skin.
Concluding that due the fact she can move from head to tail,she can liftn her head at least 6-10inches off the ground, and is mobile enogh that would indicate no fractured vertabraes.
So, were left with the assumption that she may have puntured a lung, or have enphacemia.(Air escaping from her sacs) explains the puffy throat being soft, its all air, thats trapped.(Usually called a punctured neumor thorax)
The air is escaping into her throat and body cavaties causing the bumps, and also causing her throat to swell.
Who'd of thought.We worked this out and i don tknow why i didnt think of her lungs before.Verfied the probability to treat her for this with a Vet over the phone.Fortunately I knew someone where I could obtain the stuff i need till i get Vet.
So much for the Snake Forum, instead of anything that might of help with this diagnosis, most of the posters were too busy, flaming off at me for something personal, oh well.Turns out i will still have to go to Vet , we had very experienced person I trust his prognosis ect.
So at the moment , she has been given an antinmflamotry injection to help with pain too,and, she seems a little brighter already.
Thanks once again.I will never to that to myself again, at least I met you.Kind Regards Heather
