Hi all thanks for all your consern, buzz has been very quite and has spent all his time in his hide , i gave him his jab yesterday and cleaned his stitches. i put a very small pinky in to see if he would feed but no joy. i was worried about him not drinking so today when cleaning him i held him close to his water bole and i was glad to see he drank water.
has any one had expereance with a injeard snake ie thay way it acted etc.

Please do keep us updated. I guess the test will be when he comes to eat. I'm glad that the vet is positive tho. |

just got back from swidon which was a 3hr round trip. good news is he is ok, he had 4 stitchys bless him. the only worry still is the kink in his back . the vet said it may go but the worst it will remain. he has full use of his lower part of his body so there should not been no nurve damage.
just going to let him rest and tend his injerys for now |
