This was the recommendation I was given yesterday for his hydrotherapy on his healing foot wound. Said it was less stressful then holding him under a faucet sink.

Helllo. I just injected my first superworm with painmeds. It is definitely ballooned up and slowly crawling still. Do y’all know how long this bug is good for? I was instructed to throw it away if Lou doesn’t eat it but I am unsure how long to keep this doped up worm out for him. Once again...

About to let him sunbathe in a warm bath. That is, after I inject a superworm with painmeds and hope that he eats it? Well that is on my list now of most awkward things I’ve ever done. I’m surprised the bug is still alive, it’s poofy now.

Thanks, it’s really effing hard right now. I know I’m doing everything I can but holy shit. I think I’ve cried ten times today and feel so helpless. He gave me syringes to inject his feeders with pain meds and said that these are the ones(meds) at this time to focus on. He said they use manuka...

I am glad I went with my gut and didn’t have him on the oral antifungal. This vet sat and talked with me for a good two hours. He wants to communicate with Lou’s other vet to discuss his suspicions. We talked about husbandry for a while and he shared with me what he uses for his habitats. It was...

It was hard. Dr. Jordan Gentry of Texas Avian saw him. He didn’t like how he looked, and had a lot of concern. I’m grateful he was honest. He is concerned about his lethargy and his movement, inability to grip well. I am preparing for the worst with some hope, that maybe it’s not too late. He is...

not stoked to be at another dang vet appt.

Got off work and finally home. Was trying to be sneaky and mist his tub lightly while he slept and he kind of woke up and pooped? Then fell back asleep. He pooped twice today. This one super white urates and the gooey from the hornworms. Gently moved him away from the damn towel and he is...

WHere do I find this? He definitely needs more branches

Today is a great day for Lou. I let him explore his redone enclosure and he explored the hell out of it before perching on a basking spot where he had a great poop. He is eating every day (can’t resist the horn worms) maybe one cricket, and pooping every other day. I put the manuka honey on his...

YAY for always over thinking I think ive lost my mind this last month and have turned full soccer Cham mom. y’all, the vet visit where they wanted him to stay i packed him a bag with his food, sprayer, poop in a bag, a few bottles of drinking water, and some clean towels. I done lost it...

my Lou at about 8 months. He’s 3.5 years old now.healing slowly.

So I sourced and got this to try on Lou’s foot, he’s been on silvadjne but there is a black spot under his heal that won’t go away,have used vet recommended antifungal.. anyway I’m not sure if this is the one that is good for this. Medical grade 400mg/12+ has me worried it may be too potent. Or...

I am by no means an expert and have royally screwed up somewhere. It’s been about $1000 in 4 vet visit bills + enclosure upgrades which has made me have to sit out a week. I have gone with my gut taking him off the fortaz because was on a second round(last injection his head ticked for 2 minutes...

Also, these random swellings didn’t happen until after I took him to the vet for problem number 1, a foot gash that kept busting and bleeding out. I fear he’s been over medicated with good intentions that made other things start to pop up, or that were slowly developing and now are present. I’m...

Biggest questions for Lou for the second opinion: His elbow is swollen, almost 2x as big as the other. (Psuedo gout?) I was a fool and went with pet store employees advice of bumping him to a 10.0 uvb from his 5 3 months ago, and nearly every or every other feeding for the last 2 years had been...

I appreciate your thoughts and support! Definitely going to the other opinion on Monday morning, would like to know their thoughts and get some bloodwork done. He pooped normal today, but is definitely showing signs of dehydration still. I was hopeful that the next urates would be whiter. I am...

Just cleaned his dang hospital bin. He ate: 1 wax worm, 1 horn worm, 2 super worms and a cricket today. Jeeze i swear that fortaz killed his appetite cause he is eating almost anything right now.

2 days off completed first round of fortaz

Lou is hunting today! Swelling down. Made appt for Monday instead of today to have less stress while he is showing upswing
