Little update. After the blood work came back nothing out of the ordinary I was kind of at witts end. Around two weeks later our forever winter receded and we has some nice days. Windows open fresh air etc. I also cranked the heat levels up higher than ever, like 104 ambient... Lord...
Blood work came back last Thursday, all well. There were some levels that were on the upper and lower spectrums of normal most likely due to not eating. He just told me to make sure he continues to seek and drink water ( loves to drink from the mister) and he will either eat or not.
I...
Blood work should be back tomorrow morning. Felt an xray wasn't warrented after General Inspection of abdomen. Got the blood panels and a series of vitamin/amino injections.
Gave him a good long 40 minute long soak. He drank plenty of water and I got some actual stool from him. I've also made the call to step up from the regular vet I see who is mildly exp with herps to a full on vet specialist an hour away. I'm wondering if he's stopped up.
It is also a possibility that he could be experiencing MBD from my little research. I'd like to think the Mercury vapor was good enough. If I guess it's, well what I'm hoping, "early onset" if there's such a thing..... Is it possible to reverse it? Anything I should suggest to the vet...
Well damn. I was always used to seeing his plugs in a pair or U-shaped. Not saying that i don't trust your friend or anything, I guess it's just denial since I kinda don't want to face the fact that he's dying.
I am scheduled to see the vet again this coming Monday, so we'll see what...
The vet suggested a fecal early on, but with only urates and liquid it would be difficult to transport it to the office.
He's done some critical surgeries on iguanas and general treatment.
The dose for panacur in reptiles is close to public Info, but I asked his opinion prior and we...
Thanks for the hopeful words Walter! Would he intentionally emaciate himself? I understand seasonal drive etc. But boy this guy is really starting to worry me with his weight. I'm going to do a 50mg/kg dose of panacur and repta-boost and see if that gets him going. I can't stand to...
Got her in December still good for a bit. I am under the care of a vet currently but I've been reading about giving Panacur to lizards to deworm them..... Would I be out of line in trying this? Parasites are literally the only thing I can think of, but with the stool being so wet I...
Yea mine had gotten gooey eyes when I used an exo Terra mvb. Removed bulb cleared up in 2 weeks. He does have a scar on his back from a stuck shed. The 160w I use doesn't put out entirely too much heat at the distance I have it. It's a nice safe product, I just can't get it warranted...
Aside from the 2's just being white (no crystals or anything) and some Liquid there's nothing fecal in there to look at, unless I can take apart the white stuff? I just don't know if they'll be in there.
Its a large enclosure but the mega ray is a 160 and around I think 18-20 inches above where...
Great lamps... . Interesting customer service when it comes to anything besides posts like these trying to sell you one. 6 month guarantee touted everywhere... Even the box like 4 places. Mine burned out after 2 months of use in a wire fixture. Purchased from Amazon.... Both...
Hey guys, back after being a ghost for a year or two, but it's a good thing!
However my adult male red is sick.
I've went to the vet 2x in the last 8 days and he has done a mouth culture (no results yet) and 2 rounds of baytril at a lower concentration due to my concern of the severity of the...
Also, for clarification...my grammar isnt as bad as my posts lead on. Sometimes i ramble whilst pecking away at my phone writing these longer replies. And spelling on these things is rough. Lastly, the cellphone canera does no justice to Sushi.
So, i apologize for all this and thank you all...
