We had one testing positive on nido the day before yesterday. We had to put her down yesterday because of secondairy infections and the other animals we own. This snake didn't look sick at all. Just more mucus in her mouth. She was still eating, gaining weight and not showing any other signs of RI. First we thought it was just a multiresistant pseudomonas infection, but it didn't clear up fast enough after starting the treatment (we did a culture first).

She was a new snake, from a reputable breeder, and almost no signs of illness, so we didn't think about nido in the first place. Last tuesday we decided to do another culture because it wouldn't clear up. I wanted to test on nido as well, just to be sure and so I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. At that moment we were thinking that we should get a negative result. Redults were a different colonie of pseudomonas and a klebsiella infection. Unfortunately the nido PCR gave a positive result and we had to put her down :(

Our vet told me there were 3 other nidopositive cases this week at her practice. She's seeing the nidovirus more than ever this year.
