Just noticed this this morning and don't know what it is. He was outside for about a half an hour yesterday. The only thing I can think of is maybe he got stung?

Does anyone know if there is anything that can be done to prevent temporal gland infections in jackson's? I've had to take my guy to the vet three or four times in the past two years for temporal gland infections. I hate putting him through all that, not to mention stressing him with his meds...

I think I'm going to go with plywood and get a small piece of laminate flooring for the top of it to protect it from the water. I can always just change it later on if I need a drainage system.

i am planning on building a DIY enclosure thats going to be 2'x2'x4' and I can't think of what to use for the floor of it. Any suggestions? I'm still undecided on whether I'm going to incorporate a drainage system.

I never thought of a sheet. That would make it all a whole heck of a lot easier. Or I guess a beach towel will work too. I've also nixed the bottom door thing, its going to be too difficult to make it.

I think I have it figured out. Its probably going to be about 4-5ft wide about 2ft deep, and about 4ft tall wood frame, plexiglass down the middle, one door for each side and a bottom door along the whole length. I just want to make something where the plexiglass is removable in case I get a...

I was originally thinking with a divider, I just couldn't figure out how to keep it supported. I've been trying to figure out the logistics with all the different options.

I am considering doing diy enclosures for my male and female Jackson's, but if possible I would like to build just one large enclosure. How big would one have to be to house a male and female Jackson's together?

Bob just had his re-check at the vet this morning. He had had a temporal gland infection that was getting pretty nasty, so at his first visit, he had surgery to remove some pus and was started on antibiotics. I took him in for his 10-day re-check this morning, and the vet said he was looking...

Poor Bob has had a temporal gland infection for a few months. At his first vet visit, we were given some blue medicine to swab on it, which worked last time. So this time that didn't work and he was starting to look pretty bad, so he had another vet visit yesterday. They said that they had to...

I used to have the same kind of problem. When my cat would get too interested and start swatting at the cage, I would pick him up by the scruff of his neck, use my "angry" voice, and shut him in the basement for a while. Physical violence and squirt bottles have never worked with either of my...

Eponine, my little female Jackson's died this morning. She pretty well stayed in the same spot all yesterday. She was in the same spot this morning, but with a leg hanging off the branch. I thought she was impacted so I gave her a warm shower and a little later took her outside. She kept...

I'm pretty sure its a temporal gland infection. He's on meds. Its looking a lot better than it was.
