Green Poo

I just had the most disturbing stuff come out of my snake. She took a smallish poo, and the urates looked green. Not like puke green but like almost a flourescent green, not to mentioned the wierd grey/tan things that came out too (they look like pieces of intestine).

I'm thinking I'm screwed since this is the snake that went through a course of baytril a month ago. So if the bacteria are still in her gut and survived the baytril treatment, it could mean I have a dead snake on my hands. I sorta figured she was slow to recover, since she's only slightly weightier than when she was sick.

I'm blaming this on that sorry good for nothing stuck up vet, she probably didn't even give me baytril and just gave me saline, or too weak a solution of baytril and gave me the wrong dose info.

Good for nothing cat/dog vets who think they know snakes.

I'm gonna go cry now... what else can you do when you have a snake with bacteria in it's gut that's probably immune to baytril :(

Sorry for the rant, I just had to get this off my chest, at 1 in the morning. I just hope my other snakes don't get sick.

BTW, does anyone know an awesome SNAKE vet in the NYC area, heck NY area? I need like 4 bacteria cultures done and I wouldn't mind taking a bus all the way out to Hicksville to get to one.

Has she eaten recently? I know that sometimes after not eating the urates/poo can have a greenish hue/or be green....sometimes.....

She ate 3 fuzzy mice last week on friday, regurgitated them all over the weekend, and pooped twice since then. She's been eating fairly normally before that, about once a week, sometimes a little more.

She had a fairly big poo that sorta worried me early last week, it looked very... bubbly? Well there were large bubbles in it. Originally what tipped me off with her diagnosis of bacterial infection was a soft swelling in her stomach that came and went that I suspected as gas buildup.

Maybe I'll try some GSE and some more acidophillus on her next mouse next week.
