Thanks to both of you.
You're right, the only vets here work on cats, dogs and the occasional goat.... no reptile experience available.
When I have a problem I usually come on here to get other reptile people's advice and experiences, go back to the vet for X Rays (newly available only last year, very exciting!) and medication and usually end up administering it myself. I'm fairly competent with injections and tube feeding.
My vet has just found that they have a mutton bird paste that I have seen advertised as a snake food supplement and is fairly oily. Some pharmacies here apparently do stock Flax Seed oil as a human health supplement (in capsules but I can open them), so I'm going out today to see if I can get some, and maybe I can make a reasonably oily soft paste for tube feeding.
I'm willing to give enemas a go, but would love to hear exactly how to go about it if anyone on here has ever done it?
