So its with an extremely heavy heart despite how long we got with Neptune that I make the official post of his passing. Earlier today I took him into the vet to be put down due to what I think was severe kidney failure and the vet said he was in septic shock. I am so glad I made the decision I...

So we have made the decision that today will be the day I take Neptune in. He is not anymore stable, but made it through the night, passed stool and moved on his own. However he is still very stiff and so i think he is showing signs of late stage kidney failure. I am guessing its been happening...

He is a veiled. And every day with him the last year has been celebration. We had a couple scares that required the vet. So i know no matter what happens this time, his age is wearing on him. He just hasn't hit that time where I KNOW he is ready. He is a stubborn old man

Thank you, I swear he runs off sheer anger and spite. And I will miss his sassy behavior no matter when he leaves us. But if he decides he is ready to go then I am ok with it. Most I will help him do then is make his journey a little easier. I will keep everyone updated

Well I have been missing for a bit again. After the move, work picked up like crazy and I broke my leg ugh. But the real update is I think Neptune's body may be failing him finally. I am currently running supportive care at the house since he doesn't look stable enough to survive a vet visit...

Yeah I think the multivitamin is use has a very low dosage of B12 it uses too because it doesn't even list it in the percentages just ingredients. So its not really in the active ingredient listing levels.

Hmmm I had been adjusting his supplements lately. Been doing repetivite calcium plus low D 3 times a week and plain calcium the rest of the time. He has been doing amazing on it for the later... wanna say 6 years of his life until the last two years but maybe he just needs something different...

Lol tegu's and skinks are so easy to pill. Ok I know he gets some b12 in his multi vit but pretty sure from the looks of it thats the only b vit he gets. Thanks for the list so much! He still seems to eat larger feeders easier and those that have more texture like soft bodied worms. So I am...

Hmmm I am guessing vit B would help he is definitely having more issues shedding the last few months! I have some vit B here for myself but I need to see what I type. I think its only B12. Do you think having the full range would be more helpful? Thanks so much as always <3. Just trying to keep...

As we know Neptune is a super old man and these last two years have come with a myriad of age related health issues. He is currently struggling with shooting his tongue and potentially the stickiness of it. He can still shoot it a very short distance. Anyone have any recommendations for...

We will keep him going as long as he is... happy? Its hard to tell with him sometimes perpetual grumpy. But he still enjoys trying to hunt larger flies even if he misses them more than not. Will tolerate handling if it means he can ask outside when its warm enough (he loves the sun so much). And...

Lol yes very much so. He amazes me. He was a rescue i took in from a member here years ago. I actually never was sure he would live past his first few days and then wasn't sure about the next year as we got him rehabilitated with his MBD diagnosis and dehydration issues. The vet is very happy...

Neptune's birthday passed by in oct when I was adjusting to a new schedule so I didn't get on to update you guys. The old man is 13. He is gaining weight right now (he went really skinny for a time as we struggled with his sight issues and finally found the right feeder cup for him) and other...

Omg sorry guys! I just had a massive change with my schedule and have been scrambling to keep up with all my clients! Just logged on again! Thanks all for the birthday wishes, it was a wonderful day. Big 35 now!

I know he is probably in his last year. He is falling more often. Not a lot but enough that senior set up is happening today even in the temporary cage. No real signs of severe arthritis or pain. His grip just isn't quite as a strong. No signs of MBD. So its just... adjusting to being older I...
