Meet the gang!

I think it is a good sign that he is eating...if he was in horrible pain or terribly impacted, I don't think he would eat. I'm just guessing though...I'm just thinking of how I would feel...

[kibakiba]

He seems to be more comfortable when I'm holding him. He didn't eat when he was in the tank, but when I was holding him he tried eating my fingers, so I let him eat the fish. He also calms right down when I pick him up

Poor little fella...

The syringe came today. I went ahead and gave him an enema. This is what came out, the blockage is still there for now, but he wont stay still now, so I'm giving him a break.

Good luck! Hope he starts feeling better soon.

That looks like mucus...I'm guessing some sort of infection or something but I have no idea...Steve said he would be on Skype tonight...I would send him a pic of that and ask him. Maybe it isn't a blockage though.

[kibakiba]

It is a blockage. Things like that can cause an infection after a while.

Also, does anyone want to help me explain to my mom that squirting a little tiny bit of water in ember isn't going to kill him? She was yelling at me saying that I was murdering my snake. He's no worse than he was earlier, maybe a little angry at me, but he's not dead.

To Chantel's mom...Chantel is trying to help Ember...members on the forum who have experience treating these types of intestinal blockages in snakes told Chantel how to treat him and sent her the syringe. What she is doing should not make him any worse at this point...we are just trying to help him.

Doesn't look like anything that could cause a blockage.

It's still there, that was all that came out. I'm going to have another go at it. It's hard to control him and the syringe at the same time, so it stresses both of us out at the same time.
