    Re: Vet. Visit

    *Update*
    Since I don't feel Scar is making any headway on this infection I scheduled him for another Vet visit. The Vet. decided to get an x-ray.
    He said that everything looks good other than a little arthritis at one of his injury sites. I was very surprized that he didn't have any spinal damage, considering all the injuries he has.
    Maybe I'm being over protective. I just don't want one of those sudden deaths, if I can avoid it.
    I feel obligated to this little guy. I guess I need to take a deep breath and step back.

    Tough little thing fingers crossed. The infection could possibly be more of a skin allergy or tissue building on the scar tissue maybe.

    The Vet. is leaning more towards growth problems in the scar site areas. Since the skin is actual gone in some of those areas he feels these are prime locations for infection to get in. I love all my snakes but my boy Scar is unique. I was hoping yesterday would be a free day at the Vet since it was just a follow-up to a current problem. I was doing great until the x-ray came in. $39.00 is what they charged. Wondering if that's high, low or average. Anyone else had x-rays done?

    Best wishes to Scar. He's luck you found him and are giving the care he needs.

    Considering what my dentist charges ... I rekon it should work out at 8-12 dollars a sheet.
