injury back!!garter snake...

[what7psp]

I myself would like to humbly apologize, If you had been more clear up front about the situation, these wonderful people would have reacted a lot differently.

Please don't judge the group for the misunderstanding, We ALL assumed you were an adult that just didn't want to go to the vet.

In all honesty, had I known, and you lived close enough, I would have offered to take the snake for you

Hope it pans out for the best....

Sincerely I do.

apollogy accepded..people make mistakes...i've would reacded the same way......sorry for my spelling

I apologize as well. It just sounded like you simply didn't want to the way you said it. Sorry.

wow i'd say ANY movement in it's back end would be a great sign..... maybe it was just swelling!!! good luck!!!

i hope it is...cheers

Sounds like a bit of good news. Just keep in mind that it's still a very serious injury and all of the damage may not be evident yet. Just like when humans have internal bleeding, sometimes you don't know until it's too late. Not trying to scare you, but being realistic. I'm still hoping and praying that your snake makes a full recovery for you and I do think the eating and tail movement is a good sign

if i was a bit older i could drive a car i would defenetly take my snake straht to a vet..

it does sound a bit more hopeful for the little snake
the vet will probably not tell you much over the phone
at this point they may even tell you to just leave the snake alone and not handle it, if you brought it there
they may also tell you that they know nothing about reptiles
call them anyway - it's good to know what kind of vet you have "near" you
good luck for your little snake

Glad to hear he's starting to get some movement back. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it was just bruising and swelling, and I hope he's back to normal soon.

if i was a bit older i could drive a car i would definitely take my snake straht to a vet..

I know you would

I just didn't want you to get your hopes up, just in case I agree, though, at this point you're probably doing what the vet would recommend.

Still thinking good thoughts and keeping fingers crossed for your snake...
