Osteoarthrosis

Are you doing anything for pain management in the snake? If its so painful that she cant even eat i think that starts bringing up a lot of ethical questions about quality of life. :/
What is the treatment plan you guys have come to?

She can eat, though if she wraps in a certain manner she will drop the food item. We hope through treatment we will be able to loosen up her spine and relieve the pain.

Our plan so far is adding the homeopathic arthritis treatment Zeel to her water, laser therapy, and acupuncture (yes you can do acupuncture on reptiles).
