Not one part of what I said was intended as a joke.

[ConcinusMan]

It was still funny

Speaking of funny.



October 7, 2012.


This is a rough translation and summary of the necropsy report I got this morning. Took a lot longer than expected to get it.

Result:
1. Extreme anemia.
2. Fatal internal bleeding.

Specific findings:
-The snake is severely anemic and was severely anemic before the internal bleeding.
-Mucous membranes in the mouth extremely white.
-Large amounts of bloody fluids in the body cavity. 3 cm long blood clot along the oviduct.
-Bloody fluids in the membrane around the oviduct and the intestines.
-The liver is pale, some minor hematomas. Multifocal necrosis. The histological changes probably caused by lack of oxygen.
-No signs of infection.
-No changes in lungs, heart, brains or kidneys.

Now all that remains is to find a cause for the cause of death.

Glad you finally got the results back but it looks like it's only raised more question. At least those questions are more focused now.

Www. What a shame.
maybe something went wrong w follicle development?

My thinking right now, is that it is related to this problem from 2010:

A couple of pictures from July.





The pictures were taken by the vet. I stole them from their facebook page.

The vet had mentioned a constriction around the oviduct back then. She's thrown slugs twice since then without any visible problems, but I guess that second time did some damage she couldn't recover from. I want to emphasize that this is just a guess.

I'd say that's a logical conclusion. It's a shame mate.

Such a shame

[Stefan-A]

A shame indeed.

I'd say that's a logical conclusion.

Nah, it's just a guess. I'm not a vet and I can't think of any other reasons based on what little I know of veterinary medicine. I might end up consulting a vet.
