What does Rolo have?

22 15:20:46

Question
Rolo, my sister's ball python has been acting weird. Now I've found him making "gaaaakkkk" noises, having seizure like spasms, and spitting up pink liquid. He has a bump on his body w/ discolored under scales. Help me!!
I think he's dying!

Answer
I too believe your snake will die unless he gets immediate veterinary care.  SOunds like a systemic infection (respiratory infection) as far as the pink liquid and hacking.  As to the bump-I couldn't really even guess w/o seeing it.  Either way he probably needs antibiotics and the only way to get them is from a vet.  Good Luck!
