    Vet Care Sheet Help

    I was wondering about that? Wasn't 100%, and it usually will run out of water overnight so I guess that was a good thing. As far as supplement's; I read on the care sheet there needs to be 3 types of course: calcium w/ d3, calcium w/o d3, and a multivitamin. I have the herptivite calcium w/ d3...

    Vet Care Sheet Help

    That's what I'm shooting for. I'll be honest, I think I've been doing everything right for my guy, but half of this is to get others input as to ways I could improve my routine. Maybe I should get different supplements or different supplement schedule or something else I haven't thought of. This...

    Vet Care Sheet Help

    I wanted to see if there is something specific to his species and age? Haven't seen the care sheet on here yet. I'm actually at work and hoping I won't get in too much trouble getting on here for help. I will try to check it out when I have a chance. Also want to add; he's misted every 2 1/2...

    Vet Care Sheet Help

    So I have to go out of town on an emergency, and since I've actually relocated for a summer internship I've had to find a vet that would watch my little guy. It's in Princeton, WV; a vet called All Creatures, and I have to say WOW they've gone out of their way to help me. I went yesterday to...

    Silkworm v Hornworm

    Sometimes when I have them free ranging ill throw in some bug burger or something they're used to. That way they are much less likely to take a bite out of the Cham, and go more towards what they're use to. Just a thought.

    Silkworm v Hornworm

    Oh yeah, I only give him enough to eat within ten minutes an if he's really hungry ill throw in an extra dozen. What's the word on zebra worms? I really don't know much about them, and getting ready to do some online research. Ordered Phoenix, silkworms, and butterworms today and looking to add...

    Silkworm v Hornworm

    My guy is just 3 months, and I definitely know what you mean by the rapid growth of hornworms. The silks for his size may be best. Hmmmm, maybe ill get a little of both.

    Silkworm v Hornworm

    Trying to add more feeders to panther diet, and can't make my mind up between these two worms. I know silks have calcium content and not sure about horns. I know both are good for hydration. So with the calcium in mind I'm thinking silks.

    Compact Japanese Holly "Acebo Compacta" poisonous to bb Ambilobe?

    I'm looking at getting the plant for the chameleon, but I'm not sure if this one is poisonous or not. I'm new to West Virginia and I really don't know what kind of plants they have that ate good for chameleons.

    Possible very bad Vitamin A deficiency. Please help

    So there are about fifty different quick shots from the ultrasound of his eye. I have no idea if I can even attach that many pictures on here in a compressed file or something? Here is what I have so far. These xrays weren't actually trying to focus on the bones, but instead the internal organs...

    Possible very bad Vitamin A deficiency. Please help

    I wish I could have ended this story as a positive thread of how perseverance prevailed, but unfortunately the little guy could only take so much. After taking him home last week on Tuesday he seemed to be getting better and better as days continued. His eyes were beginning to open a little...

Thanks from Zeus. lol When calling this morning to give me...

    Possible very bad Vitamin A deficiency. Please help

    GREAT NEWS! So with fluid injection treatments to try to flush the kidneys phosphorus levels; we were able to raise the calcium from 10 to 16 and lower the phosphorus from 8 to 6. This gives us a solid 2:1 ratio, and maybe if it continues could even give us 3:1. They did inform me however that...

    Possible very bad Vitamin A deficiency. Please help

    I meant to add that the other day when on a visit to the vet school I took him outside to feed him. When I finally got him to strike 2 phoenix worms, he almost immediately spit them out as a sudden eye bulge occurred. I'm guessing the pain from the eyes is actually causing him difficulty to eat...

    Possible very bad Vitamin A deficiency. Please help

    -I think I prematurely jumped to vitamin A as the cause of the eyes just because it seemed the like easiest answer. -I had adjusted the lighting the last day I had him before I took him to the vet, and it seemed to get a good response. Although, my vet is pretty insistent that this is not the...

    Possible very bad Vitamin A deficiency. Please help

    I think it may be a ficus. Not too sure. Mean't to add an update a few days back. Finally got the vet to take a blood sample. It really pisses me off b/c I asked them the first visit over a month and a half ago with tons of time to fix anything. Now it turns out that his Phosphorus is almost...
