My snake is home from the vet finally!
It's very unnerving trying to nurse her back to health.
We have to give her shots for 7 more days.
Soak her twice a day, and then put cream on her burns.
I'm worrying 24/7 about this.
Is she too cold? Is she too hot? What if she burns herself again?
I check her cage every hour right now to make sure the temp is right and it's clean.
We gave her the first shot today.
I held her as still as I could as my roommate stuck the needle it.
She jerked (she's stronger than she looks) and it went a little deeper than I expected.
I burst into tears. What if it injured her? What if we punctured something?
Ugh! I'm so worried about my baby-I feel like a real momma right now.
Please excuse me, I have to go check on her again...
I hate giving shots! That's the worst. :(
ReplyDeleteBut a vet is not going to have you give her a shot in an area where a small amount of mistake can cause major damage. So I'm sure she's fine, just startled and maybe a little pinched.
You're a good snake momma!
Hope she feels better soon! You are being a wonderful Mama.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she will be okay. Give it some time and she'll be in perfect health, you'll just know what sort of things you need to be doing for her now.
ReplyDeleteawww sick pets are the worst! hope that sweet baby is feeling better very soon, you're being a great snake mama!
ReplyDeletehugs
ReplyDeletePoor thing! I hope your snake gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteI am SO not a snake person, so hearing you talk about taking care of her just the same as if she was a puppy is kind of strange for me. But I totally get it. And I hope she gets better really fast!
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! Hope she gets over her burn and infection soon! (and needles are horrible…for the giver and the recipient.)
ReplyDeleteOh no I hope she is ok. When I was little we had 2 of these, I think Iwas maybe 3.
