Busy day at the Vets.

This morning I took 4 snakes to the Vet. All had some type of lump in different locations.
My biggest concern was for my girl (Luckylookalike).
She's gone off food and developed a couple of lumps. An x-ray was taken and then the largest lump was removed from a 2 inch incision.
At this time the smaller lump wasn't removed. It may be removed at a later time depending on the results from the biopsy.





The second snake was an injured snake delivered to me last year. He had a prolapsed hemipenis. I removed the dead tissue and 6 months later he developed an infection. This area was lanced open and a pus like material was removed. My Vet. feels he'll make a full recovery. The area will be treated with a betadine solution.


I also took 2 young checkered garters that were born on the Ranch last year. One had an enlarged lymph node and the other(albino) had subcutaneous worms. The Vet. thinks they probably came from the guppies she was fed.
