oh, i forgot to add, he is not sick. i have spent roughly $1000 in vet bills only to find out that he just has a "special" eye. we tried everything from medicine, fecal testing, to even surgery to remove whatever may have been lodged in his eye, which turned out to be nothing... his eye is just...

i am having to sell picasso, my male veiled. i just started working 60 hrs a week and i no longer have time for him. i feel horrible but i barely have time to eat and sleep any more, much less take care of my home and other pets. picasso is a special cham. he has an eye problem, it is not...

Picasso's update well, as Elizadolots suggested in the PM she sent me... i decided to give an update on how picasso is doing. HE'S DOING GREAT! he is off all meds now, poo and urates look good, eats on his own, and after buying him a new plant he climbs all over the cage like a monkey! i...

see? thats what i thought too... it makes me wonder if thats why he is having his medical issues right now. could it be that hes just really old and beginning to shut down? hes about 20+ inches right now, so fully grown, but aparently hes only "13 months old" he is having an eye issue that i...

the first pic is when he was one month old, and the seccond pic is when he was 3 months old.... do the 2 sizes look right? the person i bought him from was very dishonest when i got him, so i wouldnt put it past her to fudge the pix... the 1 month pic seems a little big to me... then again, ive...

lol thank you. he is absolutely stunning... until you see his gigantic eye (pictured above, or a few pages pack in this thread)... i feel so bad for him, i can only imagine how much pressure is on his eye... he will get better i think. im pretty optimistic about it... i really dont know why i...

it really doesnt bother me if you repeat some things... all info is extremely helpful right now. i truely appreciate it... btw, for being such a new member, you seem to know sooooo much.... you must be a member on another forum... or have a TON of years in the reptile keeping hobby... thanks for...

to what eliza said: true, true... its extremely financially draining right now though..... IM TAKING DONATIONS FOR THE "SAVE PICASSO FOUNDATION"!.... anyone?? *bump* :D im jus kidding on that... but i am just barely skating by right now... i work in construction and work is extremely hard to...

i have been increasing his fluid intake as much as possible. i have been giving it to him with a syringe, but thats the best i can do until i can check into the feeding tube. thank you for your post, you gave some really good info and ill check this all out when i can get a hold of my, eeerr...

aaawwwwww eliza, u are just the sweetest :D but im sure im not the only one out there that would do virtually everything in my power to make sure my little friend is in prestine health... the way i see it, its not their choice to be bred or caught and forced to live in a cage their whole...

aw thanks orchidslave :) i hope to be able to give good news soon!.... wish i could have given good news a long time ago... would have been a whole heck of a lot cheaper lol. poor guy well, all i can say is: this is his last shot, hes been on just about every other medicine there is, if he...

they are old reptisun 10 lights. the uvb is gone because they are too old, roughly a year old (from the previous owner) they arent very bright, but i have turned them off for about 2 weeks to see if it had anything to do with it because i read about having too much uvb can sometimes put sunburns...

i know! it hurts just to look at... i feel terrible for him i mean gosh the ammount of pressure on the eye must be tremendous. i wish i could snap my fingers and it all be better his eye looks better than that at the moment, about half the size, but it goes back and fourth. he has good and...

thanks alot eliza! ill read it right after this post. heres the pic someone asked for showing the difference between his eyes

i have a pic of the bad eye on my computer, but his lights dont turn on for another hr and a half, so ill post one of the good eye later... but im sure you all can see his eye does not look normal

his eye is very swollen. sometimes it is poped out and hard! :eek: (it is by no means going unattended though, its a daily battle believe me). sometimes his eye will look like it is improving, and i get excited, only to come back an hour or 2 later and its scarry swollen. there is fluid behind...

this is why i tried to find the most compotent reptile vet i could find... turns out, even she is still confused! i absolutely hate having him on all these meds i just wish there was some other way because i know it is very very hard on their bodies... it worries me sick. every time he gets a...

honestly, he goes once a weekish... which i know probably isnt good, or at the very least isnt great but at least he is going. he has recently begun to drink a lot more water, which i would assume might be from the medicines, because it started after he was put on fortaz... this i suspect may...

is the critical care stuff you fed called "carnivore care" and used for underweight animals? im having to use that for him. like i said before, his previous owner was terrible... maybe thats whats causing his urine to be yellow?
