Hi Kinyonga,
The vet did not do any tests. She was concerned that he looked pale, a bit dehydrated, but good otherwise. We did do radiographs but all they revealed was a broken tail. She didn't say anything about bone density or deformity. Although, if you look at his last pics, it looks to me...
After researching some threads and some great posts by Beman and kinyonga, I believe that I have a proper supplentation schedule (using Beman's recommendations from a post) and I am going in tomorrow to pick up Supplements tomorrow.
I plan to use:
-Arcadia revitalize w/ d3 (looks like every 8th...
Hi Beman,
I love the wealth of knowledge you share!
You responded to my posts regarding my panther, Simba's, current issues and my ill-advised (over)supplementation. I've currently cut everything out (no supplements for 10 days so far). I'm trying to detox him and start fresh.
I believe that...
Hi snitz,
Simba is going through almost the exact same thing, except we are further out than you and your boy. Simba prolapse at the end of August. Same exact thing!
Simba does the same normally after bm, sticks his out from side to side, tucks it in and then wipes himself a few times on the...
Thanks CalamityCrow 😊
Im planning on doing a major overhaul with all of Simba's nutrition and habitat asap! I'm searching threads for nutrition guides and want to get/make Simba a new house and Im shopping for new lighting as soon as i figure out the best options that i can afford. I know the...
Thank you for suggestions!
I am currently researching better quality feeders (and softer, moister ones that will be easier to pass). I was using flukers before but wasnt thrilled. Does anyone have suggestions for a subscription delivery service that has variety?
I've also thought about...
Thank you for your reply!! Experience is exactly what I need!
The reptivite with d3 ingredients say vitamin a acetate
I do not. Up until these forums I was advised calcium with d3 would be sufficient.
Regarding your hypothesis that it could be MBD: that is what i originally suspected, but...
Hi Jannb thanks for your response.
I am greatly aware that taking Simba in would be the best option, but he was last seen 3 weeks ago (by the only exotic specialist I can get to) and, in my opinion, this vet's only interest is making money, she won't discuss his treatment with me at all.
Simba...
Hi saucydragon,
I am so sorry that you are going through such a difficult time. It is so hard to watch them go through so much pain and trouble without knowing what to do. I am in a very similar situation with my panther, Simba...
I have had animals my entire life, trained animals...

Handled 1-3x per week: He used to love venturing out of his habitat, would walk on to my hand when I opened the door. He has had many health issues over the past 4 months and has been handled much more frequently, but with...
