UPDATE:
After the first couple of days the 'goo' in his eye wasn't apparent. After about a week his eye now closes properly at night. Now every few days or so he's been scratching to get an eye booger out, here's a shot of it just after helping him get it out (with saline):
Throughout the...
I'll pick some up ASAP, still waiting to hear back from Tiki. What are the signs of over supplementation? You guys are scaring me =p
I try to get him outside as much as possible, but with the temperatures trending 110F every day it's difficult. I plan on having outside much more during the...
So repashy calcium plus would replace my standard calcium dusting for every meal?
If so do I keep the same twice a month schedule for D3/herpavite/mineral-all-o? Or would the repashy eliminate the need for any of those?
his eye looked 'normal' after the first saline rinse. my vet emailed me back and said I should continue to rinse his eye 3-5 times daily and it should improve in 2-3 days.
his eye doesn't seem to close all the way either when he's sleeping, is this due to the infection?
after one saline wash the goopy stuff looks gone. my vet is out of town until wednesday, and with labor day it would be difficult to get him in elsewhere sooner than that anyway. I'm going to do 2 saline washes a day and see if it clears up within the next day or so =/
While feeding Kepler today I noticed his left eye looked a little odd:
I was looking around the forum and it looks as though it's an eye infection, but I just wanted to make sure. The annoying part is that I literally just had him at the vet THURSDAY, and less than 2 days later he's got more...
I think it's just the picture and how he's holding on. The vet pretty much felt every bone in his body and said everything was normal. No tongue issues that I've noticed, the occasional miss but he's actually pretty good!
thanks!
well the vet said it certainly did not look like MBD. to him he looked perfectly healthy. he tried to get kepler to do it by making him climb around stuff, but unfortunately he didn't do it until the car ride home =(
and the quote of the day belongs to Dr. Taylor
I'll make an appointment tomorrow; thanks for the advice.
I really want to feed him a wider variety of things. I've been trying Superworms on and off for the past 2 months and he wants nothing to do with them. My girlfriend loathes roaches so I've been trying to convince her to let me keep a...
did Neo refuse to let go when he grabbed himself? it's like my guy doesn't even know he's holding on to his own limb - that's my real worry.
i'll have to call chad and talk to him about this. thanks for the heads up!
what age is normal to take a cham to the vet for the first time?
No I completely understand, my fault for not doing it in the first place =p
Bulb was purchased 5/16/11 brand new - so roughly 3 months old.
Not sure on the vitamin A - here's the label for the mineral-all-O
and the repti-cal herpivite
I bought it as a "Suppliment Combo Pack" from...
Most of it is redundant, but sure.

Just took him out to hold him and he got himself stuck again walking on my hands. Now this could be because he's getting bigger and my hand is the same size...but regardless he should be able to realize what is happening and let go right?
Had my gf take this video to show that he's trying...
Hrm, any other opinions on this? Kepler doesn't show any shaky gaits, and his falls are only caused by him not letting go of his legs. And he only grabs himself when he's trying to turn around or get into odd places without branches. I wouldn't think it was a problem - but he doesn't let go...
Hi everyone,
Kepler has been grabbing his own legs lately thinking they are branches. I first noticed it a few weeks ago but didn't pay much attention to it, but lately it seems to be getting worse. I found him caught in a pretzel once where his hind legs were both grabbing one another and...
