blowin bubbles

[unknownclown]

So we got our bloods delivered yesterday by fed ex they were really cold so we put them in their enclosures to warm up. Today I noticed one of the females was blowing bubbles out of its mouth and nose. Called the place I got them and let them know what's goin on. They said to put them under heat and they should be fine. Does this sound right to you all?

It sounds like an RI, temperature might help, but medication is allot quicker, and RIs can go bad quick if not treated.

I would get your money back. I'm thinking RI.

It's an RI. Warm them up, add some humidity, and it should clear up on its own. I'd ask for a partial refund because of it however.

Not worth it for a full refund, it's not difficult to treat.

^^^^^
not having a go at you

thats if it is the early stages of a respiritory infection

i would say its further on than that,due to it being at the stage of blowing bubbles (excess mucas)

meantime i would up the hot end temps by 5 degree's,then get a vet appiontment for them mate

the vet can take a trachial swab to help identify the type of infection and the best antibiotic to treat it with

imo the shop should NOT have sold you snakes that were NOT 100% healthy

its up to you where you go from here.....

pay for a vet to look at them

then pay for the treatments

or

get a full refund and buy other snakes

or

get the shop to take them back and treat them until 100% healthy

it may be a simple respiritory infection but it may also be something more serious.only a vet will be able to tell you after they run a few tests

cheers shaun

That is what I was thinking, I was just in a rush. IMO you should demand a refund or cover the vet bills.

We will be speaking with them in the morning then. I'm guessing this is contagious if so more than likely all 3 will need to be treated... this is what I get for goin against what I know and getting farmed snakeys time to find a vet...
