Just to share some issues

...The full story up until a month ago more or less. Been adding as I find my scattered notes. I'm sharing to show the importance of obtaining a qualified HERP vet. Do not take chances with unqualified vets for serious issues. I did, and paid a hefty price. As did my beautiful girl.

Aurora's Abscess.doc ...Kinda large, but fills you in. And don't laugh at my mastery of the English language. I claim no fame. LOL

As of 3 days ago...
The doctor came by to do a check up, and really likes what he sees. It's been a long battle, but we are coming to a nice closure it appears.

The caudal portion and the cranial portion of the incision have both sealed shut with great accuracy. No sutures needed. The center and worst, where the most skin and necrotic tissue was removed has adhered well on the inside. I barely have room to even put sugar in there anymore.

Still going to need some time for the tissues and skin to regenerate themselves, but looks like the home stretch. She no longer splits open when being fed, and is putting a little weight back on.

Flat out like a lizard drinking...




Check this out ....





Not bad for a dumb white boy eh? Y'all don't know how happy this makes me.


Thanks for looking

That is actually looking pretty darned good, Rick. I'm happy to see that she is recovering so well. I'm sure it is a tremendous relief for you, too...I know how much she means to you.

You have no idea. LOL I'm stoked right now.

Absolutely heart-wrenching Rich. There aren't many people who would go the lengths you did to save their pet. Too many fall short, taking a pet and then when trouble strikes, treating them like they are a piece of old furniture that's outlived it's usefulness. If there's a heaven, I'm sure there is a place already waiting for you there. Good Luck with her continued recovery.

So how is she doing so far Rick?

Oh wow, that poor girl!!! she is beautiful, you have done so well!!!

She's doing great! Vet came by and gave her the, "simply amazing how fast she healed" and we are back to normal. Got a big praise too. He say my snakes are the healthiest he's seen in this town, ever. Even when Aurora was sick, she was healthier than most he sees. (probably helped a lot) Pretty cool eh. And messed up too for the others. Which is what got me started rescuing in the first place.


But she's been given a clean bill of health, and back up to normal weight even. She's been active lately. She gets that way around breeding season the last 4 yrs running.


Thanks for asking!
Rick
