I got my snake to the vet today and she performed several x-rays but was unable to find any blockage. There was only one remaining rat that could be seen. She has given him anti-worming and anti-protozoan medication. She wants me to also soak him in tepid water for as long as he is willing to stay in the water.

I will be really sad if he doesn't make it. But I will keep up on him and see if I can just get him to take rat parts or a fuzzy rat every few days and keep him warm and humid. I will give him fresh water everday.

Any other suggestions? I appreciate your help, please hope the best for my poor yellow ratsnake.

Thanks,
Chris
