He isn't on antibotics - he was tested for parasites and worms and both came up negative. He has an ointment for his chin I am putting on twice a day though.
Up until Sunday (vet appt) he was active, eating and drinking very well. Since we've gotten home he still seems active, he is always cruising around his enclosure. I have given him crickets the last two days but he doesn't seem interested. Yesterday I tried helping him with some extra water...
The splatter was about two inches across... I was rather surprised when I saw it. He drank a large amount of water on Sunday so I'm thinking this may be it... I wish the picture would come up larger; I actually think I saw parts of an undigested cricket in the little amount of stool that is there.
I do apologize for yet another thread about my Jackson, I feel like I'm blowing up the forums but I want to see if anyone can help me a little more. My last thread I think may have gotten unread and I do need some help seeing as I can't go back to my vet until the 15th when she returns. She is...
Anyone planning on doing anything with their tax refund this year? I think I am going to be upgrading my boys to a 24 x 24 x 48 enclosure. One for each of course :) My male panther Mojo will be 1 year old here on the 14th (best hatch day ever) and I am thinking he may need some more space...
Thank you and welcome! I do love the draining system/substrate trays and I will definetly be purchasing one the next time I am in need! I may even just upgrade for the heck of it!!!
I am actually trying to create my own moths :) I was able to get two hornworms huge and put them into a container with soil. They both did in fact bury and I haven't really seen them since. How do I know if they are cocooning or just dieing? :confused:
OHH!! Mine started cocooning! :D
He is doing just fine this morning - even when I got him home last night he just starting cruising around his enclosure... he seemed to want out actually. He was out ALL weekend so mommy had to say no more! He was even his bright green self like nothing had happend. :D
I put the cream on...
Well ... of course the unexpected happened and I am still without answers. :(
So the plan was that he got put under to remove the abscess and while under get a blood sample for a possible kidney issue. They just cut his chin open to let some fluids drain, they didn't "remove" anything. I...
I have had Derpy for about a year and a half now. I saved him from PetSmart Aug 2012. He looked only a few months old at the time but I have never known how old he truly is. I've attached my very first picture of him, on day one... when I thought he needed a red bulb lol.
Thank you both. I can't believe my little guy needs surgery! I do feel better about it being the right thing to do and not think it's just the vet wanting some more money out of me. :o I drop him off tomorrow at 4pm.. I don't think he has to stay over night but I believe he will be at the vet...
I must say they both did very well :) Derpy was a taaad upset at first but once I set him on the bone model you see in the pics he settled down. Vet called me a genious for doing that LOL
Derpy (jackson) weighed in at 105g and Mojo (panther) at 128g
Derpy is about 2- 2.5 years old and Mojo...
