This girl ( about which mouth injury a couple of months ago I already reported ) did it again.
15 days ago she struck the feeding prongs, AGAIN.
I did not notice and left her for 2 weeks unchecked ( she looked perfectly normal, even shed ).
Yesterday I was spot cleaning and was greeted by a strong gurgling noise
She has , again, all her right side teeth broken, has developed a Stomatitis and, due to pus draining to her lung, a Respiratory Infection.
I have her on the following regime:
- For 5 days, Anti-Inflamatory injections, subcutaneous, Meboxicam;
- Day in, day out, for 2 weeks, an antibiotic course of Marbocyl, intramuscular;
-Everyday, mouth cleaning with Chlorhexidrine (0,2% solution ) and mouth ointment with Ophtalmic Gel with Antibiotic.
Hope she makes it, but she was really on the downside.
Lesson to learn:
-AS I CONTINUOUSLY PREACH, GTP'S NEED ATTENTION EVERYDAY. YOU HAVE TO CHECK YOUR SNAKE EVERYDAY. IF YOU DO NOT DO THAT, AND SOMETHING HAPPENS, THEY GO DOWNHILL VERY, VERY, FAST.
-AVOID METAL PRONGS / TWEEZER WITH AGRESSIVE FEEDERS.
THIS ONE, FROM NOW ON ( IF SHE MAKES IT ) UPON RESUMING FEEDING, WILL BE FED WITH ME PICKING THE MOUSE/RAT BY THE TAIL. NO MORE TWEEZERS.
