We have arrived home with our beautiful little girl. She is so tiny post surgery. Adam showed me the removed fat pads :eek: they were gigantic and really abnormally shaped. He is thrilled with her recovery so far and confessed that he woke up this morning and wanted to call the surgery as he...
Woohoo !!!:D Vet just called and Gizzy is a lovely colour and quite relaxed - we can go and collect her in an hour :D I know there is still a long way to go, but for now i`m just ecstatic that she is coming back to us. :D
Thanks guys - I totally choked up when Adam rung to say she was awake and climbing, for the second time he also had to deal with me crying like a baby, lol. I am just so thankful that we found the right vet for Gizzy, he is determined to get her through come what may.
Tiff - I know what you...
Thanks Texas - It will be fantastic to have other vets opinions and advice if we can get them. Adam (Gizzy`s vet) is amazing and we owe him so much for helping our little girl. He is also on a huge learning curve on this one and i am sure would appreciate any input.
He just called and said...
Thanks Laurie - we are in bits just praying she will battle through it. She has certainly got the best vet we could hope for and the staff are all doing their best and nursing her through.
I have just spoken to the vet and he says that when he opened Gizzy up he found that her fat pads were enlarged and had become solid. He said that it is very rare for this to happen and he is unsure of the cause. Often it is the result of a vitamin E deficiency or the wrong food, but he is...
Thanks Texas - Yes we have all had a bash at trying to help her "go" on other occassions it has worked well, but this time nothing seems to help. It is awful to watch them suffering and we also were worried about her quality of life, but the vet believes she will do fine if it is just the poop...
Thank you all for the lovely messages and good wishes :) fingers crossed she will be home this time tomorrow. We have complete confidence in Gizzy`s vet and if anyone can get her through it is him. Besides i have promised her a new hammock when she comes home :D
After a week of meds Gizzy is just not getting better and the big lump in her tummy remains:( My poor little girl is just miserable and going downhill fast right now. It seems that the first op has caused problems with her intestines and the vet thinks the lump is poop - I still fear it could...
This is terrible !! Please take him to the vet asap. He is obviously a very unwell little boy. You should definitely have a UVB strip in his viv, if you cannot afford to take him to the vet or supply the things he needs then maybe you should consider finding him a new home with a more...
I totally agree ! If only people understood how fragile and reliant on us these little guys are and not to mention how expensive the vet bills can be :eek: It is so sad to see the after effects of poor ownership.
Thanks Laurie - we are praying that she will be okay, she so deserves to be painfree and happy after all she`s been through.
The is quite concerned that Gizzy has a very strange lumpy tummy, but could feel faeces rather than eggs - thank heavens. He weighed her again and she is now 259g...
The vet did say at the time that it is rare for re-growth to occur and they have no explanation as to why it happens other than perhaps some egg or tissue missed during the op regenerating. He did warn us that should it occur she obviously has no tubes for the eggs to sit in so it would be very...
Hi guys,
I just wondered if anyone has experience of egg re-growth in a speyed veiled chameleon ? Gizzy is now a year down the road after her op, but she seems to have been a bit off lately, she has also put on a ludicrous amount of weight and today weighed in at 246g. There haven`t been any...
I just wanted to add my sympathies for the loss of Splat and Laurie - they look like great characters in the pics. Splat ceertainly looked to be having a huge amount of fun and I imagine his life, although cut short, was a very happy and interesting one. I hope it is of some comfort to know that...
I hope you all had a fantastic xmas and new year and that the hang overs are long gone ;):)
Just a few pics of our little humeleon, Gizzy, Taken today :D She absolutely loved xmas and even stood hanging over our son whilst he opened his gifts, lol - she doesn`t miss a trick :D:)
