PHEW :shock: :shock: :shock:
Well we did it....we got a catheter down Nymph's throat and put some Electrodize down there! It was so scary lol. Had Phillis standing by just incase we needed an extra hand and we did end up needing him when the catheter got down so far that the syringe lifted off the table and was dangling off lol. I tell ya, my hands were shaking (weak I know but I didn't want to hurt him!) but he is SUCH a good snake! Didn't argue too much, didn't even think about biting me even when it took me about 6 shots to actually get a good enough grip on his head! Then I'm trying to get the bloody pen in his mouth to open it up :shock: . Even when I pulled it back out he didn't get cranky...and he even let me wipe some dribbles off his chin without too much complaint .
And now for the best part....after the first treatment on Thursday last week he looks better! He's actually cruising around his cage, not squirming so much and I think the lump's smaller. His tongue movements look normal and he's moving around a lot more smoothly . So a BIG thankyou to Morelia Hunter for helping us out and having us around to show us how to do it, to Phil for being support and coming over lol, and to Browneye cos I think he mentioned dehydration to me a while back but it didn't click then...sorry Browneye
YYYAAAAAYYYYYY!!! . Let's just hope he keeps getting better from now! We'll probably give him another 1 or 2 treatments and then maybe offer him some food
