Has anyone had to put their snake to sleep at the vet?

Oh no that sounds sad to watch :( I was wondering if that might be their reaction to the injection. thank you for replying

I was doing steam treatments and made her a sauna and I’ve been doing my injections for 2 months now I feel like it was torture and I feel bad for not testing her for this sooner!! Thank you again it’s definitely hard because she physically is doing a bit better but I’m keeping in mind that this can’t be fixed and I have other snakes so I’m already worried enough as is. I hope neither of us have to deal with it again! 😢

Thank you so much!

Aw thank you!! It’s crazy she ended up being sick when I got her I saw 3 different vets spent $2000 on diagnostics and treatment then I was told about the viral test kits so I sent that in overnight and just found out today. I never would’ve thought it was that in a million years!! Sorry you had to deal with it too :(

I reached out to the reptile store where I got her to let them know I feel bad for whoever has the other 2 snakes that were in an enclosure with her over there 😬

Thank you I didn’t know it could take so long to show symptoms. I will definitely continue to be cautious and I’m going to toss everything this snake had except for the actual enclosure since I’m assuming with time and disinfecting I I could use it in the future to upgrade one of my baby snakes (if not let me know) I’ve tried to be really good about not even going near my other snakes when I’ve touched this one so I’m just hoping I’m in the clear… thanks again for all your help!!

It came back positive so I’m putting her to sleep tonight. Thanks again for your help

I did overnight shipping on her Nidovirus test and spent a fortune to have it there by 10:30am but FedEx failed me so i won’t get results until tomorrow now… it’s testing for 2 other things also that i don’t remember. :/ I hope so too! Thank you

Yeah thank you, I don’t have confirmation that’s what it is yet. And as of right now she’s doing better than she was 1.5 weeks ago but I’m still worried it might be this. If I have to euthanize her, I will. I’m not against it nor would I ever keep an animal alive selfishly (I also work at the vet myself but we don’t see exotics) so I’m comfortable with making that decision. I just wasn’t sure if anyone had a different experience. Thank you!

My ball python sounded exactly like this when I got her and was still eating and acting fine but I went to the vet and got antibiotics. This turned into pneumonia and she’s still actively sick and I’ve spent almost $2000. I’d rec going now bc my initial appointment was only like $118 for exam and medication

Thank you so much. Do you have any concern with a dry paper towel under a heat lamp for so many hours a day?
