Please somebody help! Do we have to kill the snail or can he be cured? It looks like his lungs or something have came out of his mouth!

It looks like the digestive-trakt is coming out of his mouth. Sometimes this disappears on its own, but in most cases the snail dies a slow death, because it cannot eat with this anymore.  I personally would wait some days and look if it goes away AND the snail starts again to eat. Otherways it´s probably better to euthanasia the poor snail. Kind regards, Gabi |

This is so sad, the snails owner is a young girl, who really loves her snails.

Im afraid Elven, that if your friends snail doesnt recover within a few days, what Gabi said will sadly, be the best thing  It's hard to get your mind around, but nature does what nature does! |
