I wish her all the best and a speedy and painless recovery.

Thanks Kellog. She really hate the stuff, but it has to be done. really don't want here to die. I'm so worried about here getting an infection or Mouth rot or something.
I guess its a good thing that she puts up such a fuss and fights back so much, if she didn't it would be much more worrying.

poor baby Cherry, what a lovely name. my ferret was born with slightly blocked tear ducts, i guess your little hatchling was born with the same problem, only worse.
if the antibiotics are thin and runny like water (i dont suppose they are), you could inject the antibiotics into her food? but i guess it is more like a paste? you are very brave and an excellent owner to be able to give her meds. i take my hat off to you. |

| Sorry, not had the internet for a while so only just read this. I've got a snake with one eye (Nelson) and he's a darling. The only way he's different to the others is that he whips his head round more often when you go to pick him up, a bit daunting but now I know he's just checking me out it's fine. He tends to lie with his good eye facing towards the outside of his faun, but he doesn't seem to get spooked too much apart from at feeding time, when he tail shakes until he's finished eating (even in a small, dark feeding box). He's about double the size of his sister, so I guess his feeding is good. The only problem he's had is with shedding, but after a few horrendous sheds where the shed started from the neck down, he's good. |

your the first person i have met who has a snake with one eye. It reassuring to know that they get on so well, Cherry is still very jumpy but i guess its going to take some getting used to. I actually think she is better at feeding now then she was before the problem began, that or she is just very hungry.
did Nelson have to have is eye removed too, or was he born that way ? Infact, i don't suppose you have any pictures? it would be really interesting to see how they look after its healed and everything. |

It is not surprising that Cherry is still very jumpy considering what she had gone through and is still going through (being force fed her medicine)....in fact you must be doing amazingly well with her for her to be happy enough to feed and be handled at all.
I know it must be a real relief finding someone else who is dealing with a one-eyed snake like Nazzle is. Hopefully she wont mind (sorry Nadine, just thought I would help out  )....but these are some pics of some of her snakes, Nelson is the one-eyed snake and is in the 2nd and 3rd photos....showing his good and bad sides - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8315

Thanks. It looks like they heal pretty well really.
I have been amazed at how docile Cherry has been, i expected her to atleast try and give me a bite at some point with the meds, but she hasn't once. Just acts like a stubbon child and concentrates on keeping her mouth closed haha. She has been off the meds now for a few days and has started to calm down a little. She has a really good temperament thankfully. |
