Odd regurge...

[Albert Clark]

How old is he? And you said this was the second time partial regurge, correct? And you are highly suspicious bc he was in contact with the female who had a sudden inexplicable death? Also this may or may not be due to overeating? OK, Just know that we all hope it is minor and keep us posted.

I think he's roughly 5, since I'm not 100% sure how old he was when I got him.

Yes, this is the second partial regurge.

Yes, I am suspicious because of the female. However, as of yesterday I got some info that at one point she overheated by laying on an unregulated heat pad before she came to me. Given how sensitive garters can be, this gives me hope that she may have suffered internal damage from that incident and not had anything contagious. I initially figured she didn't have anything contagious because she made it through a 90 day QT with no symptoms other than basic stress symptoms (soaking often and eating sporadically), and went from acting perfectly fine to dead in less than five hours (made me think organ failure, which would fit with the heat pad narrative).

I do still have some hope that this is due to overeating and then eating something harder to digest (pinkies) right after. I'm going to test this by just offering him small amounts of nightcrawler at his next feeding. They are the easiest to digest, so if he keeps those down I figure I was right about that.
