My Tegu seems to not always be in the mood for food items smelling like cod liver oil, but if I inject the oil into a thawed mouse, he gobbles it down every time.
Here is a pic of his enclosureafter cleaning it out. His health seems the same, but I made his mulch deeper with a layer of topsoil between two layers of cypress. So I hope this helps keep the humidity up.
Notice how dark he looks compared to my Avatar pic? Is that just due to age? Any...
The gums aren't sticking out much today, that's good I guess.... He's still drooling though. I jacked up his temps 6 degrees or so, and put a larger amount of reptivite in his food today. He hasn't been eating most of the time I put food in lately, (hibernation) but today he ate most of the...
My Adult Argentine BLK/WHT Tegu is still kinda hibernating so i don't see him much, and i just noticed that he has what looks like puffy pink gums sticking slightly out the side of his mouth and is drooling a lot. Sounds a little gargly when he's breathing. I have no rep vet near me, but my vet...
Thanks for the tips! I have been squeezing some of my fish oil pills out into his turkey. Correction on my previous post, it's miner-all (spelling?) not rep-cal that I give him. I usually put some on his food almost every day. I sprinkle some repti-vite about 3 times a week. The humidity could...
Ok, sounds good. Should I be giving him enemas too? Also the vet said to use warm water with a couple drops of mild soap and a little mineral oil for the enema. Probably about 15cc or so total. Does that sound right?
Really? He has a 1'x2' water dish that's filtered with a turtle filter. He mainly eats ground turkey, shrimp, talapia, eggs, ground venison once in w while.... He wont really eat fruit anymore. He used to eat grapes and mango....
I see him drink. He is only about a year old if that matters. He...
My adult argentine BW Tegu hadn't pooped in about a week so the vet told me to try an enema. That seemed to do the trick. In the morning I found a runny poo and what looked to be the cause of the backup. It was a hard white clump about the size of a cherry tomato. I broke it open and it was just...
Mine hasn't pooped for a week. I just tried giving him an enema today. Only got about 4cc in there, so maybe not enough...? Have soaked him a few times, and fed two thawed mice today injected with fish oil. I hope he poops soon.
