Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Just a quick note--veterinarians are not being a pita when they do not give meds without seeing the pet first. By law we need active client/patient/veterinarian relationship and can lose our licenses by prescribing medications without first seeing the pet.

he hasn't gotten any worse. Still another 5 days before i can get him to see a vet. still trying to decide if i should just cancel. the sores aren't getting any worse as is. I would have been cool taking him to see the vet but none had any openings. It would have been nice if they could have at least given advice what to do untill i can make it in. Even my doctor can tell me get plenty of sleep and eat well if i have a cold. These guys straigh up said "I'm sorry we can't say a word till we've seen the pet"

well, you got advice here on what to do in the meantime...but I don't think there are many that would straight up tell you NOT to keep your appt for similar reasons. We can't see the animal.
(just for the record, I think refusal to advise you on supportive husbandry is a bunch of crap. Granted it comes from the need to reduce liability, because the phone answers/appt makers are not usually the vets; and the wrong information is worse than no information because they can be blamed...but it is crap none-the-less)

Most people know to keep warm and clean while waiting for an appt. If more advice is given it can be a liability. Our office has an exotics vet on staff all days except Sundays and many emergency hospitals have exotics vets that can be called in. I don't know where you live but if you check the ARAV website you can likely find a vet in your area that has hours that are more suitable.

Cool, a real DVM on fauna. Welcome, Micheal.
Folks, don't be too too pissed that he doesn't have some instant home cure.
I have worked in medicine long enough to know, that prescribing drugs, based on a phone call, is professional suicide.
So, either she takes her animal to the clinic, or tries to deal with it herself.
Fairly straightforward situation.

If the temps are only 80-85 degrees, he's not going to want to eat anyway.....did you keep the original vet appointment, and if so, what did you find out?

Yeah he went to the vet right after a shed and vet said it was clearing up and no further treatment was needed. What temp should a ball python be at? i though 85 was a good ambient for them. My white lips i keep a bit warmer at 90
