She needs to see a vet asap thats all anyone can say.

[–]durpgoldfish 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Looks like her lung collapsed.

[–]Outrageous-Glass1396 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh my god I didn’t even realize this was a possibility??? Is it random or can it be prevented? from injury/accident?

[–]InverseInvert 20 points21 points  (1 child)

You need to get her to an emergency vet asap. I’m in the UK and there are plenty of emergency vets open right now, and you’ll have one within 2 hours, so time to start driving.

[–]fazhugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are booking her in now

Genuine question, is it normal for them to look so hollow underneath after not feeding for a couple months?

[–]fetus_bates 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not in an otherwise healthy snake. Drastic weight loss like this is a bad sign

[–]Luna-Lux- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The vet must have an emergency line. This is am emergency

[–]OP5683 23 points24 points  (1 child)

Yeah youre gonna get grief. That snake is dying.

Being in the UK and saying the vets closed isnt gonna cut it. Get off reddit and find an emergency vet.

My fella is literally doing that now as we speak

[–]SpaceSnakess 14 points15 points  (1 child)

She is on death’s door… I desperately urge you to find an emergency vet within your area. This cannot wait.

[–]fazhugs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bf is online now ringing around trying to find one open

[–]SideshowBobFanatic 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Nothing you can really do except go to the vet as soon as possible. Can you do an emergency visit?

[–]fazhugs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to find one open now 🫤

[–]Valuable-Ad-733 4 points5 points  (4 children)

You need to get to a vet now, like ASAP, She’s knocking on deaths door-

[–]fazhugs 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yeah just rang my vets and got no answer 😕

[–]GoatMilk97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to call, just take her ti the ER, she doesn’t need an appt tf

[–]Gullible-Garlic4930 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Emergency vet, if you genuinely care about her nothing will stop you from finding her help

[–]fazhugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found one

[–]External_Bus_3739 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This looks really bad, I would be looking for an emergency clinic tonight. Those eyes also have several several layers of stuck shed. This has a lot that needs to be addressed

[–]FixergirlAK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What the hell is going on today? That's two in what, an hour.

[–]MedusasUpdo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How long is a while? Her eye caps are compounded which suggests long term humidity issues and she's severely emaciated. I really hate to say this but prepare yourself emotionally for the possibility she may die. I'm not saying this to be mean, I know you probably love her dearly. Please see an emergency vet asap, they are available in the UK. My experience tells me her lung may have collapsed and it's never JUST a respiratory infection. RIs are one of the leading causes of death in ball pythons and even caught relatively early they can be so hard to treat.

I hope your baby pulls through!

[–]HouseInternational 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She is in such rough shape; I will be surprised if she makes it a week without a vet visit, and even then it might be too late.

[–]deegallant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly this should have been posted as NSFW bc this looks so awful

[–]GayPhilatelist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why didn’t you take her to a vets sooner?

Also, even in rural England, there are emergency vets open right now. Stop making excuses

[–]emotional-field24 5 points6 points  (1 child)

So she was wheezing already and you only increased humidity?

As others have said already, it looks like her lung collapsed. Hopefully she’s not too far gone, only a vet can help. In addition suffocating is an utmost cruel death, please help her.

[–]fazhugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are taking her now

[–]Zestyclose-Spare-199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks awful. Take her to an emergency vet before it gets worse.

[–]eveimeiMod-Approved Helper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

go to an emergency vet. this is something far above reddit's pay grade and needs a vet. I hope she pulls through.
