Earlier suspicions...

[Flood]

Some of you may remember when I suspected my BCI of having IBD. At the time it seemed rather unlikely. It turns out that he did. I came home the other day to an infection ridden boa, and had to put him down. This was the first snake that I actually cried over. Lukily though, I had isolated him from my pythons and the all seem to be doing alright still.

Sorry to hear about your Boa. Did you have a necropsy done? Only way to tell for sure if it was IBD. At least he wasnt around the rest of your collection. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear that. It's a hard thing to have to make a decision to do such...sorry you had to.

I have a question though...

How was the determination of IBD made and by whom ? I'd assume to venture that you had a necropsy done on the snake then ? Exactly where in the body was the IBD found and what was the % extent in which it was inclusive ?
