Illness of Mowgli (~2013 Male Jungle Carpet Python)
On Feb. 16th 2017, Mowgli was found to have some difficulty breathing. There has been no changes to his setup or anything for months and it came a few days following a sizable meal. Concerned by the audible "crackles" coming from his upper third, the mouth breathing and loud wheezing, I took him to Steeples Vet Clinic in Cranbrook, BC where he was assessed by Dr. Sarah Tijon on Feb 17th 2017. She diagnosed him with what seemed to have been a hidden infection dating back from before I obtained him that was never treated (or noticed) as well as Pneumonia. It is important to note here that Mowgli has always made some interesting noises since I acquired him, but since there was no symptoms of anything, it was never looked into. Mowgli was given a prescription for Amyglide 0.3 mg injected every 3 days for 7 doses. Hopefully this will clear this old infection and cure him of his shortness of breath.
