    Re: PLEASE Help

    I think there was one where a snake 'recovered' and stopped seizing but ended up being so disabled that it had to be euthanized anyway (I think there were 2 ribbons involved, and one died from the seizures and the other had to be put down). It's not like with dogs/cats where they can get the emotional benefits of spending more time with people; keeping them around when they're suffering is just frightening.
    But seriously, you did the right thing. There's no 'getting better' from that.

    I agree with everyone else. I have had to watch a couple of my snakes pass, and when they get to the point where they are just lying there slowly breathing like you said, they are about to pass on. You obviously loved her very much and you did what you did to ease her suffering. You are not a monster...you are a good snake owner. I know how hard this is...I do feel your pain right now. I am so very sorry for your loss and you and Rita are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace little Rita.

    Brandon, I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you are suffering. You were the best companion Rita could have, please don't doubt that. As said in a previous post, the snakes who have presented with the neurological issues and seizures never recover. You did a very difficult and humane thing for her, to end her suffering. I have had to do this for my frogs and it is the most difficult thing in the world, next to watching them suffer. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
