I just want to update everyone - as I was not active for a while: the little guy got better! (y) and I think it was just because of time. At first it got a little bit worst and for the past month the swell really started to retreat and now it is very small. Things I have done (since my last...

Right now he is off any vitamin supplements because (if you skim thru my post history) one of the problems where pointed is that I have over fed him with Vitamins (every other day I use to give him vitamins) so now he is off Vitamins for the past month and a half. I have to introduce them back -...

@kinyonga They are white birch branches - bought them from a garden center in tip top shape (no insects marks and the bark is intact, no peeling). The panther never chews on the branches (nor any leafs) The branch problem looks like a false alarm, over the weekend I cleaned the cage a bit with...

side question: I have birch branches in his cage (they where all dried up nicely when purchased from a garden farm) Are birch branches ok for them? I just noticed after allot of misting cycles some white buildup getting deposited on the ropes around the birch twigs (or it is maybe just...

@kinyonga you where probably right all along - you called it the first time. I was just taking the cheapest route out and gave him antibiotics and the vet rolled with it @Extensionofgreen and @OldChamKeeper I think you summed it all perfectly, what you say makes cents. I'm just waiting for...

That's the thing - they don't have a diagnostic - so they can't say what it is for sure. Two more weeks until I will probably be forced to do the culture test as nothing else worked so far

Update: After 2 weeks and 4 days of Fortaz injectible - things are not looking better. Doc stopped the antibiotics (since it has been 1 moth of antibiotics administering; first Baytril then Fortaz) Today I went back to the vet for the fallow up check. I know I have said that in the first week...

Update: After one week of Fortaz -0.01 injectible Colors are much better (actually I could say he has brighter colors that he ever had) and he is very active. He eats well - he is back on crickets and noticed if I released them in the cage he hunts them down almost instantly (he does not like...

Yes - that's his "hunt on" face

Update (after vet visit) I got a second Doc's opinion and it went very well - the new Doc summed up pretty much what all of you figured out here. So I can say I got equivalent diagnosis from this forum as from a caring professional (y) New treatment : Fortaz injection for 2 weeks - once a day...

I agree - skipping Baytril for one day was bad - after this morning Baytril and Metacan it already looks better without that puss. Thursday I will see another Doc (within the same vet place) a second opinion and I will ask for Fortaz and probably a culture test. I don't think we are at the...

This morning update! :mad::((after just one day of no Baytril) It got worst The pic is not perfect (because I was home alone and I had to take it myself) but the white spots on the infection area bigger now - looks like something white spots on tonsils on humans - the white spots where...

I went to the store and bought Rep-Cal - Calcium NO Phosphorous - NO Vitamin D3 (for daily use) I have stop Baytril administration and on my next Visit I will ask the vent if they can give me injectible Fortaz as treatment. I will say No to surgery as I want to see how the new diet + supplements...

I will buy new Ca today does it mater if it's phosphorus free? | Got it, no more Repashy Plus - just light once per week. I can't get Dubia roaches in Canada (it is illegal) I will add more crickets and I will get silk worms today (no more meal worms or super-worms for him for a while) and the...
