Still have not gotten results back on what type of fungus it is. I did get the medicine yesterday and gave it to him without any problems. He is very good about taking medicine though and if it tasted bad I doubt he would act differently. That's funny about your cham trying to spit it out and...
I live in colorado also and I am probably not far from you:) I also used to work for a reptile rescue here in colorado and I take the rescues to Vet Katie Phillips at Dublin animal hospital as well as my personal pets. She is very good with reptiles and will do the research, take blood and...
So yesterday the antifungal medicine was NOT ready. They said it will be ready on Monday because they did not have the right flavor for the medicine. What???! They said they only had it in fish flavor and thought Rex would not like it. Well I told them they were correct. They asked me what...
So I called the vet office today and they said the bloodwork came back pretty good and I can pick up the medicine and start it today. Results on the culture are not back yet but my vet will call me monday probably with results and we will know what type of fungus this is for sure, I hope.
Does her poop look normal, smell normal? I only ask because you said she had mega poo:) Coccidia is very common in bearded dragons(they even have their own strain of it) and this sometimes causes them to stop eating. When you take her to the vet get a fecal check done too just to be sure she...
Not yet, but it better be tomorrow because I am going nuts waiting! I keep thinking the longer he has to wait for this medicine the less chance he will have at a full recovery if it is possible. I understand I have to be patient so I am, but I am a worry wort and can't stop thinking about it...
Aww they are so cute:)
Something funny just happened. I put a hat on and I went to check on Rex and he saw me, puffed up and huffed at me, lol! He is scared of my hat! None of my other reptiles noticed but he sure did, ha ha!
Thanks Jannb, I love him so much:) That's awesome, do they grab it in their mouths too? I have some that will drink from the sprayer if I just let one water droplet out at a time but Rex is the only one I have seen that grabs the end in his mouth. I think it's comical:)
Aww, Howdyco you are too sweet! The cheapest I found the book is $64, normally it is almost $100. It's on A1 books, it's called Manual of exotic pet practice By Mark A. Mitchell, Thomas N. Tully. Here's the link if you want to see it...
Ha ha that's funny:) Yes he came back because he was fed well. When I was a kid I made a little pond in our garden, very small like 20 gallons of water. I caught a huge bull frog and put him in it from the creek behind my house. I fed him huge earthworms almost everyday and he never left...
Well I haven't heard anything from my vet yet on the blood results or fecal. She will probably call me to come in on the next day they are open to pick up the medicine because she said it would only take a couple days to make. At that time I hope she will have some news for me on how to see if...
Thanks howdyco:)
Jojackson, I am a little nuts with the hand washing to be honest with my OCD and all. I've had people make fun of me for it,lol! So no problem there:) I never had them in separate rooms before because up until now keeping everything clean and in their own cages, washing...
