I wanted to post a quick update on my Rose. She's the Hypo Sonoran BCI that came to me in less than rough condition about a month and a half ago. She's doing better, but her URI is holding strong against the antibiotics, so I took her back to the vet to try something else. We switched from Amikacin to Fortaz... hopefully I'll see an improvement soon. The vet also said she gained a whole pound since I brought her in last (in one month). Now I'm no power feeder, so I was just wondering what this means. I mean she was 3 pounds a month ago and 4 pounds now. That's a ton of weight for that amount of time. All I've been doing is feeding her an appropriate size meal (f/t medium rat), once a week. I will say this, when there is food, she is a very hungry snake. Other than that I've become very fond of her. She is the sweetest snake I've met so far. Even when I give her her antibiotic injections she is just the sweetest little thing. I hope the infection clears up soon, because I know those antibiotics are hard on their livers and I don't know how much longer she can be on them! This is the worst pic of her ever, and there will be better ones to come, but I don't want to stress her any more than I have to right now.
) and I took him in for antibiotics. He still had the RI for a couple weeks after the injection regimine (sp?) was complete. He did eventually get over it and is now back to normal. I think it took so long because reptiles pretty much do everything slowly.
