well after a long time away on here i am posting as im happy now and decided to return!
my snake ivy developed feeding issues last july, i posted on here and tried everything, after 5 months of not eating i got really really worried and too a trip to great western referrals vets in swindon, they do reptiles there and i didnt know till recentley.
so i took her in and they flushed out her vent and found paracites, so got medicine for that which i gave here over a weeks course, and she still didnt eat.
so took her back and because of her lack of eating she had major fatty build up in her liver (i think thats what they said) so i had to give her injections. which wasnt nice but necessary. and i got to be a vet 
so 5 injections later one every 3 days and an oral catheter to feed her liquidised food so she didnt die no feeding.
so i gave her a week before i was going to take her back and last night she took a fuzzy from me, didnt strike like she always used to but i dont care!!!
so £200 lighter she is now seeming on the mend and im so chuffed.
all that trauma and 9 MONTHS LATER she is still got fight in her. long process but worth it.
NOTE TO ALL, NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!
some pics for reminder and sorry for the long post.
