I am sorry to be reposting this, but I thought since the title topic of my other thread had deviated to this, that a more specific thread might get me some more help/answers.
I just got a Hog Island Boas who seems to have an impaction. I gave her a warm soak last night (about an hour) plus tried to gently massage her a bit. It did not pass. At one point, she looked like she was trying to push, but gave up. A red bulge came out of her vent (see pic). It went right back to normal after the soak.
I am wondering what to do. Are impactions usually hard to pass like this or do you think she needs a vet since it did not pass on the first soak? I put her in for another soak this morning, and she is much calmer than yesterday (dare I say that she seems to be enjoying it).
I am looking for any advice on what else I could do to help her. Or do you think she needs a vet right away?
