I've had a really bad week on Tuesday I took Diablo one of my babies to the the vets, he felt a bit odd and had two blisters on his body. When we got there the vet said it didn't look too good she gave him an anti-biotic and some pain killers. We were meant to keep him on anti-biotics for two weeks but when we got him home we found out that he had died on the journey home. I phoned the vet to let her know what had happened and she asked me if it would be possible to do a post-mortem, at first I was horrified by the idea but logic kicked in and we took him back to the vets. Diablo lived with another sand boa Kachina so we needed to know if it was anything she could suffer from. At the post-mortem the vet said that Diablos liver was greatly enlarged and that his gall bladder wasn't working properly this would have been something he was born with. She said the pain killers would have killed him but it would have been kinder than to let him suffer in pain. This morning dwight_fry buried him in the garden, he also has a picture of him in his journal I also have a piccie of him in my folders.
I'm sorry if they are any spelling mistakes I'm a bit of a crying mess at the moment.
Kachina is now living on her own and I don't know whether to get her another companian she doesn't seem right on her own. I got them when they were about two weeks old and I've had them for three years.
