    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Right, when his dripper is on high speed he likes to crawl under it and point his nose upwards to drink and shower in it. When he drinks, he hardly notices the dropper :D He just opens his mouth and holds his head upward, perfect time to get him his meds

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Hi guys, three week update on my Jackson's. Unfortunately it's difficult to see much progress. The bumps seem to be slightly different sizes but are all still present. His antibiotics have been given while he's drinking from his dripper or occasionally when he's eating. The vet wanted him to...

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Thanks so much guys, you have been a great help through this stressful time for both of us. For fun I found some pics of when he was tiny, these were taken April 3rd, 2017! So he came all this way in a period of of about 17 months. (it seems much longer). I can't believe his horns were ever...

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Wow thanks! I will definitely do that. I got super lucky medicating him day one, I just took him out and looked at him face to face and opened my mouth, and he surprisingly did the same thing, so I squirted it in there. I have a feeling he wont be doing that every day though :P

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Finally talked to the Vet. She said she saw skin cells, spindle cells, inflammatory cells, and a little bit of blood. Spindle cells can apparently indicate some type of tumor, but she wants us to start with some oral antibiotics (which should be pretty interesting..) Hoping for the best for now :)

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Yes he did. I didn't notice those before taking him out and getting him into the vets office. I still haven't heard back from the vet, not sure if that's normal or bad sign. After he got poked he remained lethargic for the remainder of the day on Saturday. Would barely move his back legs...

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Oh and one more behavior I observed that sort if indicated his tail is not in pain is that he slept like this last night, pretty much supporting his entire back half by his tail with his legs swinging in the wind.

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Thanks so much for the well wishes guys. This morning Spike visited the vet, where samples were extracted via syringe from a few of the bumps. He got a lot of compliments and he turned his tail a shade of turquoise he only seems to turn when having a good time (until he got poked). I hope he is...

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    Haha Thanks! :D I have actually thought the same thing about him. If you touch him, he's extremely muscular and firm, and if he decides he doesn't want to move (hopefully he wont decide that tomorrow morning for the vet), then you pretty much have to take the vine or limb with you :) His horns...

    Jacksons showing sudden bumbs on side of tail

    I've had one male jacksons before and in the 6 years I had him (I got him after he became a dad once), he never got as big as this guy grew in his first two years. I had over-handled my previous jacksons out of naivety, so with this cham I never stressed him out, and consistently fed him more...
