I brought my female out yesterday and noticed she wasn't herself. She kept bending her head 90 degrees back onto her body (laterally, not vertically) and she recoils as if she's trying to straighten it out and sometimes will fall over backwards. At first I thought she was trying to get a piece of un-shed skin off that was on her head but after I got that off she's still doing it and it seems like it's only getting worse.
When I put her back, she didn't "hold on" to me like she usually does by wrapping her tail around whatever she can get ahold of. It just lay limp. Watching her it's almost like she's in the wrong gear and just can't get out of it. I've had a coulubrid who died of stargazers disease several years ago and I'm fearing the worst.
She's about 13 feet long and she ate 3 rabbits yesterday. Does this sound like a neurological disorder or maybe even IBD? My albino male died unexpectedly on Easter and now I'm thinking there might be a connection.
