He did, the only alarming thing was a build up in his stomach. However they seemed to focus on his organs and stomach and bones. They ruled out MBD with this. There was a strange balloon in his stomach, further xrays haven’t been taken since then.

I plan on getting a biopsy on him to hopefully help myself and this vet in confirming my fears and maybe shed light on his species as well for them. Idk.

Taken last week, now a nudge too on his hip joint. I think it’s gout, it’s the only thing that makes any sense with symptoms.

This swelling seemed to subside with a calcium shot over a month ago, But never really went back to normal. Now it’s so big he can’t stretch it well, he can hardly function either front arm now :(

For example, I came home to this today. Where his elbow was inflamed before about 2-3x the size it’s now 20x. :(

What I believe I did wrong the last 3.5 years- improper humidity(only misted his cage 4-5 times day but did not have an automatic mister, and the manual listings weren’t as long as they should be), nutrition that was too protein rich, and over supplementing him on calcium with D3.

For a while there he really seemed to be doing better. Now we are back to more than was before.

I’ve decided for a final vet appointment on Thursday for Lou. He has been being treated for weird inflammations and open wounds and after xrays and blood results, the only diagnosis I’ve been told is calcium to phosphorus ratios being out of line, with the potential of renal failure. I am 80%...

He’s nearly completely healed on 3/4. However fourth is healing with a steady scab but swollen pretty bad underneath. :(. Have been using manuka honey for it but recently switched back to the silvadine, I will share a picture of the swollen healing foot when he’s awake. It’s really bizarre and...

Vet wanted to see him in 6 weeks after our last appt to run another blood test to see how he was taking to calcium, and that time will be in two weeks. He seemed to be doing so well with treatments and I’m at a loss at what this could be :(

I’ve posted a few times about Lou, who got mysterious wounds. After multiple months of vet visits the diagnosis was never really made asides him having a high phosphorous and low calcium ratio. Now he has this lump :(, I am unable to go to the vet until two weeks from now but am wondering if...

Easy easy! I’ll gwt to this right away. Thanks!

I’ve had a mistking for a month now and it’s worked great. However it has stopped pumping water, you can hear the mechanisms in the mistking itself working from the pump but I’m not getting any water. I fear it’d because I let it run dry for half a day before noticing the waterline was below the...

And he is seeming stronger today, he’s getting back to himself. I didn’t think this was the way the road was leading. My hopes have turned to logical observation and seeing results paying off. I can’t even begin to word how grateful I am right now. I don’t think we’re out of the woods until a...

:hugs:. I’m sorry this was your first experience, and I can see that you really care to get the correct things fixed and making her comfortable omg my heart breaks for that baby and you. I recommend reptile conventions if this is a creature you’re still wanting to take on after this tragic...

Thank you, I appreciate that note because yes I’ve been dedicated as heck from the 12th degree since this all started. A few weeks ago I didn’t think he was going to make it. It’s really, really cool to seeing all the hardwork and investment paying off finally. Kinda felt like I was losing my...

I think his calcium injection, switching from fortaz to amikacin, getting out of the hospital bin and to much more proper and moderated husbandry, nutrition, sun bathing, betadine hydrotherapy and manuka honey instead of the tap water/faucet hydrotherapy and silvadine all are synchronized...

Wondering if improvements of humidity and being back in his house is helping? Along with more rich nutrients, along with daily work with hydrotherapy and this new antibiotic every 3 days?! I am feeling really hopeful, just seeing him not sitting all day and clumsy. I’m so so looking forward to...

Lou update. It’s been almost two weeks since putting him back in his main enclosure. The last five days- he hasn’t fallen once. His defecating it’s going and looking better than ever. His appetite is up, I have to Ben careful or he will eat all day. Biggest sign of improvement is he is no...
