The doc I saw today said this woman can work wonders on reptiles. I'm just not sure he'll make it til morning. I cannot believe how quickly he's gone downhill. :(
Actually I don't know. He came from a dealer at an exotics expo who said he'd had him about 2 weeks. I was so excited that I actually an across a Panther that I didn't think to ask the guy at the time where he came from. The vet thought he was older than the guy told me, too. Isn't it funny how...
Not looking good
Well, it doesn't look good. Vet said he's most likely been sick a long time. She must have said six times "he's just so thin." He only weighed 27 grams. She gave him sub-q fluids and sent home some Oxbow Critical Care (though it's for herbivores, but I guess getting him to eat...
Starting to get worried about my little guy DaVinci (4-6mo old Panther). I've had him 5 days now, and he's only eaten well once (Tuesday, when we were outside and he was catching his own food). He'd been alert though, and I'd been patiently waiting on all the insects I ordered from various...
I read somewhere AFTER I got the Polish that they shouldn't be in a mixed flock. I'm not sure whether it's the fact they don't see well with the crest or they're actually stupid, but my girls both act a little "touched in the head." LOL
We don't have any really experienced reptile vets in my town, and I want to have one ready in case I have any serious issues with my little guy, DaVinci. I have found a few in Indianapolis via a google search, but I was wondering if there is anyone here located in that area who has a...
For that other cham it's probably only a matter of time. But thanks for euthanizing this poor little guy. :(
And thank you so much for posting the pics and play-by-play of the necropsy. I'm a vet tech student, and found this absolutely fascinating!
LOL!!! I love your songs, too!!
I do it, as well. My pit bull's name is Piglet, and I sing to her all the time "piggle it, just a little bit. I wanna see you piggle it." (Instead of Wiggle it):D
They're so fluffy I'm gonna die!!!!!!! LOL SUPER cute! I had one silkie who I lost in the great raccoon massacre of '11. This year I missed the fluffiness and got a couple Polish chicks. They are... interesting....
I am so very sorry for your loss! I have pet chickens, and last spring we had a massacre by raccoons. It was just awful.
She was a beautiful little duckie, and I'm sure she'll be awaiting you at the Rainbow Bridge.... :(
Is THAT how to cup feed crickets? Because I don't know if I'm up for that yet. :( I couldn't find any small worms for my baby panther, so I got large superworms and cut them in half. *shudder* It was bad.
Gotta love the USPS! My order from Mulberry Farms, according to the confirmation number I was sent, shipped yesterday. It was marked delivered today.
In California.
2000 miles from me.
Huh?:confused:

Haha! I'm the resident animal quack in my neighborhood, so I doubt anything I do surprises them! Last fall I fostered a pot bellied pig for a few weeks til he got adopted, and one evening while I was gone he got out of the fence and was apparently running the neighborhood. When I got home, he...
She's so stinkin! cute!!!!!! :D
Do you have a name yet? I've had my little boy for a few days now and I'm still trying to pick the perfect one. I may go with "Leezardo DaVinci!" LOL
None of the pics would show up for me. :( But I am so glad I'm not the only one that's so excited about these little critters! LOL
I was lying in bed this morning minding my own business, when all of a sudden there's a roly poly walking on the sheet right next to my face! They fall into my...
He is absolutlely beautiful!!!!
Mine (supposed to be Ambanja, but I question that) stays orangey at night too, tho his awake resting color is a dark red/blue. Is that normal?
So happy that Blaze is doing well. And how awesome that 1. you have a fantastic vet, and 2. that Blaze can now help advance the field of reptile veterinary care! I love it! :D
