First off, i haven't been around in probably a year or 2 so, hi.
My GB king girl has fallen ill lately. Her mouth developed some sort of infection last week, the lower jaw's gum tissue looked very swollen and red and it kept her lower jaw flared out. I have an appointment with the exotic vet on monday and he agreed it sounded like she got an infection somehow, however, it doesn't appear to be mouth rot or respiratory. There is no discharge or bubble and no squeaks or wheezing.
Earlier this week it seemed to have gone down a bit and being dumb like I am, i decided to feed her. She hadn't eaten for about a month prior due to shedding (I feed every 2 weeks, she was starting shed when i went to feed her, and finished about a week or so later). She ate 2 medium sized mice, i regular feeding for her, with little issue, though she did hesitate at first to bite them.
The reason i'm posting is because she just threw them up. Now, i know there is a difference between regurgitation and vomiting, but it's been 3 days and I can still see fur/tails on the mice. It looks like they weren't digesting well at all, and smelled about the same (i wish snake vomit on no one, i'll be sleeping on the couch tonight).
I'm going to do my best to get her into the vet tomorrow morning now. Until then, i was wondering if anyone could tell me how bad it is exactly that my snake decided to vomit her meal from a few days prior. If there is anything to do as well.
