Took rusty our ballpython to the qualified vet today and I made sure they had the right credentials before I did.



She (the vet) took care of the prolapse by tucking it back in. The vet didn't want to do a purse string suture on rusty yet unless it's absolutely necessary. They were also able to obtain a fecal sample and tested it. Found out rusty had oxy-urids (type of round worm) and he/she is on a antibiotic and needs three more oraltreatments in the next three weeks (once a week).



The vet did an excellent exam on rusty. checked heart, lungs, skin tone, bone structure, checked for mouth rot and found rusty was clean.



I would use this vet anytime she was very good.



Your help yesterday was invaluable and I thank you for it.
