Broken rib

[guidofatherof5]

Tonight I discussed the Spot issue with my Vet. She has re-gained no more use of her lower 2/3's and she's gone off feed. I had seen blood in her feces and we decided to try another medicine. She's a big girl at 200g. She's getting .05ml of Albon Suspension, once a day for 5 days. Dr. B then said he wanted to give her a laser treatment at the site of her broken rib. It's a new proceedure for his office and it is to stimulate blood flow and bone growth. Hearing the word laser I saw dollar signs. My Vet bill this year is already 3 times that of last year. He told me there would be no charge for the proceedure.
I voiced my concerns about her inability to get around. He stated that the blood I saw may be related to that problem in that a snakes movement aides in the digestive process and that since she can't get around she may be having some other issues that can't be fixed. I know what he meant by that and at this point I'm not considering it. That time may come but not right now.
So, next Tuesday she goes in for a Laser treatment. Please keep the big girl in your thoughts and prayers. She's given us two fabulous groups of babies. She means a lot to our family.
Here's a picture of the girl just before she had her spring babies. She's a good girl.
