Egg binding. Any sort of DIY advice?

[Dehlida]

She was originally intended as a breeding snake, until I got her and found the scale damage. It would have been more of a pain to return the snake than to just keep it.

As for the second opinion- even if the second vet said the same thing people would cry until they found a vet that "omg you must save the snake". Drop the subject I'm not paying for surgeries

[TeaNinja]

you're amazing at missing points.

When you kill the snake I wouldn't suggest using chemicals if you plan to use it as a feeder.

Haha yes. It seems that any further debate with this person is completely pointless.

If it comes to that I will be using an instant kill via crushing both the spinal cord and the head. I'd rather die by instant hammer than by some sort of burning injection ;*(

What kind of snake is this again? If it is non-venomous..perhaps one of us here on the forum would meet you at a neutral location to get said snake. Someone who would give it veterinary care.

Very true, what will you be feeding him to, or will it be going on the bbq for you? I wonder what it would taste like.

[Dehlida]

She's doing extremely well so far, no luck on the eggs however she is looking much closer to maybe getting them farther down to where I can pull them out. Frequent warm soaks and high humidity is working wonders, but she is still very spunky.

Wow, you're an idiot and I think you're playing up your idiocy to rile the members here.
I don't rile easily, I just tell it like it is:
If your "business" only allows for either a vet visit, or rent being paid, find a new job, you SUCK at this one.
You sound more like one of those lazy on-the-verge -of-social-assistance types that would rather try to eek out a living (and I use that term losely) rather than getting off your a$$ and getting a REAL job.
I have no problem at all telling it like I see it because I DO do this for a living, with roughly 3 times the animals you have. I don't live hand to mouth and I have more than $8 in my bank account.
Because I am a responsible pet owner, an intelligent business owner, and a decent human being, part of my income goes aside for medical expenses (I've only dipped into that fund once in 12 years).
Common sense and plain old human decency would dictate that if you keep these animals as pets (because this animal sure as hell is because she's not part of your "business" (snicker) because of her breeding issues, then it is your responsibility to provide proper care for her.
Very bad karma is coming your way.

Next, had you actually spoken to a vet (which I doubt you did; phone line or feeders?), they would have told you that this animal does NOT need surgery at all. I've had this happen before and $5 in supplies fixes this problem right up with never having to leave the house; sterilized syringe into the belly to aspirate each egg, reducing it's volume ten-fold, allowing her to easily pass the slugs.

I hope you get egg bound.

The vet didn't mention anything of that sort, although yes I will be trying to aspirate the animal since this does seem more logical than paying for a surgery.

I also have more than $8 in my account. I also work 45 hours a week elsewhere. I don't believe in Karma, so that nonsense doesn't matter to me.

Keep up with the personal attacks kiddo, it'll get you far in life

[TeaNinja]

you're a failure lol.

You do realize that Mykee has WAY more experience than you, right? I'm sure he's been doing this a lot longer than you have, and to call him "kiddo" when he's a grown man is pretty disrespectful.

i think you got it all spot on there mykee...!!

i have to agree the way the guy keeps slipping in " i'll do this or that rather than pay for treatment " is getting a reaction from everyone

imo his sole intention for this thread was to get said reaction

we call people like him on uk forums " troll's "

when they appear we simply don't feed the troll

we ignore his threads and do not post no matter how bad of a thing they say as its all said for effect and has nothing to do with snake keeping

this will be my only post on this thread as i don't make a habit of feeding trolls

cheers shaun

Mykee and Shaun- you guys hit the nail on the head. I too am done with this troll. He got under my skin and really peeved me off, and you guys that have known me on this forum for years know that I don't lose my patience and temper easily. This person and all his threads disgust me and infuriate me. It's not fair to the animals, and that's what upsets me, but for my own peace and sanity, I am going to ignore him...hopefully his time on this forum is short-lived.
