Crusty Vent

[Snakers]

good luck

Great news. CB ate a night crawler today. She was actively looking for food when I checked in on her.
Her vent area is looking better and seems to be drying out some. It doesn't have that open wound look to it. I continue to apply the silver sulfadiazine and change her paper towels daily. The big test will be if her new cloaca will function properly.
That first poop is going to be an important one to her future.
She's a great snake and I hope to have a few more years with her around.

Make that 3 night crawlers.
She seems to more like her old self but I of course am still very worried about her.

Thanks. What a kind thing to say, I guess.
I know what you're saying and I wouldn't care as long as she continues to improve.

Well to me it just seems like their biggest poops are reserved for when you hold them lol
Regardless I hope her recovery is a speedy one!

sounds like she made out fine

Well, she passed a little fecal matter. Good in itself.
I just want to see regular pooping and no infections.

Here is the growth that was removed from CB's cloaca(vent).
CB is still healing from the surgery. I've been able to keep any noticeable infection out of it. I am a bit concerned as I thing there is another growth starting. I will not subject her to more surgery.
Prayers for CB would be greatly appreciated.
