I worked at a vet. You see it all the time not just with reptiles. Flyers saying "Needs home-new apt won't allow pets." THEN YOU DON'T MOVE THERE!!! I really don't get it! My pets are my babies as much as my daughters are! I'm almost positive this post is not about me but unfortunately, my...

Zelda is as strong as she was before she was sick. Only thing is she's still not eating on her own (I think?). She looks nice and pudgy. Not weak or skinny like she was when she was sick. Happy, normal colors. I am no longer giving her droplets from the spray bottle because she is drinking like...

Zelda - Day 5 of Improvement

More of Zelda's colors are back this morning and she continues to do great! She is due for more antibiotics today (every 48 hours). I will also be getting smaller crix today. She was eating medium size before she was sick. I haven't been worried about the MBD part of her illness because I needed...

Zelda is on her 4th straight day of improvement! It was extremely humid and in the 80s on Long Island (southern NY) and I felt Zelda had made such an improvement that I felt comfortable bringing her outside to hang out with me while my kids played. Rather than sit in her terrarium with simulated...

"Here's lookin' at you, kid." (Casa Blanca Style lol)

Thank you so much! I really hope Zelda continues to improve and trust me, I KNOW it's A LOT of work with a sick reptile. I wish you the best of luck with Rodeg! Please let me know how it goes! Just take every day as it comes and do what you can! ;-)

YES! She is VERY alert! Still resting a lot but her eyes are open most of the time now following everything.:D

This is Zelda's 3rd day of improvement. She is no longer rallying between looking terrible and looking slightly better. I do have to say that all of this has been so much work! Not that I mind but, WHOA! I feel a little bad for my 2 daughters because I've been so involved with Zelda. Luckily...

GOOD reactions, I think! She is ALMOST back to normal today! I can't believe it! She is drinking on her own (plus I give her water droplets from the spray bottle 2-3x daily), but still not eating on her own. This morning she had her antibiotics, approx 7mls of water, and I popped 2 more crix...

Yay! So glad to hear! I started antibiotic with my Cham plus the steam and she is slowly getting better.

Zelda is MUCH stronger today!!! She drank for about half an hour off the spray bottle today and I was able to pop 2 more crickets in her mouth again. She's due for more antibiotics tomorrow (every 48 hours) and hopefully more drinking/popping crix sessions then!

Yes. She just needs to EAT something and drink otherwise the MBD is under control with the correct supplement schedule and the respiratory infection is definitely improving. She actually drank more out of the spray bottle. For about 20 mins this evening then perked up again. Her lights are...

Thank you Jannb! Keeping my fingers crossed but she looks absolutely terrible at the moment. I can't even tell with her anymore. She's great one minute and then terrible the next. If she's not going to make it I almost wish she'd just let go already. I know it sounds terrible but I'd rather her...

Zelda is still hanging in there!!! I really thought I lost her a couple times that one day but somehow...I found a 5 leaf clover that day at my daughter's bus stop...maybe that was the luck that Zelda needed...:o

So...Where do I begin since the last time I checked in? Zelda was touch and go there for a couple days (still not out of the woods yet). Pretty sure we started the antibiotics just in time to save her. She's still a bit weak but alert and not "napping" as much. Today she got her 2nd dose of...

And Thank you so much, Jannb, I know you've been with me through this from the beginning and I really appreciate it. I was really upset and scared for a little while...I'm still scared, but I feel a bit more hopeful now. It means a lot that a total stranger can do so much for someone without...

Ummmmm..... Zelda still isn't good BUT she is no longer "dying" in my hand. She was limp and i swear I thought she died a couple times there. r Her limbs were weak and not supportive, she wasn't lifting her head, labored breathing, that vibrating head twitch thing. She opened her eyes and...

Thank you for your advice and kind words but I'm pretty sure Zelda is dying in my hand right now. :-( All I can do now is be here for her.

Zelda is really bad today. We found her in the floor of the cage when we woke up. I'm really worried that we might lose her today. We started antibiotics yesterday. Not Baytril but some long name I can't remember. My husband(a Vet Tech) calls it Sulfatrim but tge actual name is much longer than...
