Posted by: reticguy76 at Thu Apr 9 11:27:42 2009 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by reticguy76 ] being in veterinary medicine, i, for the most part, speak from a medicinal point of view. a couple things to consider, is, if it is still availabe, you should have a veterinarian send out some tissue and fluid samples to confirm the cause of death. another thing, is that there has been some confirmed outbreaks of bacterial, as well as viral, infections affecting nearly all, or all collections. that being said, the bad part of that, is that depending on housing set up, if the snakes that died had an infection of some kind, then your whole collection may have already been exposed. if they have been exposed, there are two options, either wait and see if any symptoms arise, or have some bloodwork done to possibly identify the source. antibiotics are good, but when the bacterium is unknown, then its a trial and error process of antibiotics. which is why a blood culture and tissue sample should be collected and sent in for a pathologist to read, to identify what type of antibiotic the bacteria is sensitive to, and resistant to, so the appropriate antibiotic therapy can be perscribed and administered | ||
