Aww thanks for the kind words. She is my sweet girl and I am so proud of her spirit.

Hey all. Zoey has been doing so good. The calcium supplement has been really helping her out. So far she has laid 11 eggs. She dropped 5 yesterday alone over about an hour or so. She has refused to use the laying bin and insists on using the basking platform. She has been a constant dark...

Hi Maddieremington, Yes Zoey has been laying eggs. They are not fully formed because she is recovering from MBD. Her body is basically (as the vet described) re absorbing the eggs in order to get the calcium back into her body. So far she has laid 4. She has not interest in the laying bin...

I try to take her outside for at least 30 min everyday. she really likes walking the grass.

Since she is not interested in the laying bin, I just have a deep bowl in there for her just in case. She kinda walks on it if she is hunting, but seems to prefer her platform. That is were she laid the 2 eggs. Maybe she is just wierd. I am gonna have another fecal done hopefully tomorrow or...

Yes. she gets calcium and d3 twice a week. I was gonna get some straight cali powder, but since I have a liquid form I will wait till that is gone.

Ok. It went great at the vets office this morning. He is impressed at how much better Zoey is looking. She is now on liquid calcium drop for the next 2 months to help get her strength back up. So glad that she is doing better and will recover.

Ok so I put a large bowl of sand in her recovery tank. She kinda walked around in it, but really doesn't show much interest. I just went to check on her and found another egg on the ground, but next to the bowl. Any thoughts? Do some females just not use laying bins?

I will get that laying bin in her tank asap. The vet isn't in today so I will have to wait till tomorrow morning to bring her in to see what the heck is up. Thanks all.

Sorry camimom, I should have been more clear. The parasite was causing inflamation in her intestions and the vet put her on Albon to treat both of the symptoms at the same time. Some other members were concerned that she would have a poor reaction to the medication and persistently requested...

Hi Chase, Yes she has had those bow legs for a while. That is why I had thought she had MBD. I am hesitant about the laying bin because it could just become a breeding ground for the coccidia until I know it is cleared up. Right now Zoey is in a 10 gallon tank just so she has more room to...

Hey all. So the strangest thing happened this morning. My mom was checking on Zoey and suddenly made the comment that her urates looked "white, but awfully round". I had a look and it was a tiny little egg!!!!! She is between 6 and 8 months. I was under the impression, from what the vet said...

I used to work for both PetSmart and PetCo. I agree that they do not offer the correct training for people working in the pet dept. The 'vet certified' thing they offer on their animals is another sham. It doesnt have any weight to it. Even the one store that I worked at had a Banfield Hospital...

Hey everyone. Today is Zoey's last day of treatment. She has greatly improved since over these past few days. Her voracious appetite has returned and she can't seem to eat enough crickets. I have moved her from the little critter keeper to a 10 gallon tank. I did buy a fixture so her uvb light...

Hey all. Sorry it has been a while. Zoey has been responding very well to her medication. The swelling in her belly is going down and she has gained a lot of her mobility back. This is the second week of her treatment. After this coming weekend she will be off her meds for a week and then back...
