Are there animals that are particularly difficult for a veterinarian to treat?
Dr. K.-E.: For sure! Many colleagues find reptiles difficult to treat, for example. Reptiles take a relatively long time to show symptoms and just as long to recover. However, I see snakes as an exception. Snakes can drive you crazy if they won't eat. I remember a corn snake. We checked everything and she was fine, but she refused to eat. So, we force fed her. Once a week the owner came with the snake and a frozen mouse. You can imagine better things, especially when the frozen mouse bursts open. The third time, the snake did us the favour and ate the mouse herself.
