Yes, I don't know what VIN is, vet info network?? He does do something like that, he came in taking pictures, I think that's what it was for, so he could go message the case to other vets for their help. He said he wasn't even going to send them the stuff yet cause he knew they'd say where's the fecal results.
Oh yeah I forgot he also said about how vit a is a fat soluble vitamin, so I have to add vegetable oil to my crickets, "because there is no fat in any insects." I said, well I know there's not much fat in crickets, but I know there's some in other insects, like superworms and waxworms, because it's a common warning that even though lizards love the taste of waxworms you can't feed them regularly only a treat because they are too high in fat" he said well I've never heard of that. I said I'm sure I've even seen charts where they list out protein, calcium phosphorous and I'm sure fat was on there too.. He said well there were no such studies done on insects as of this report (2003) but if you can find an actual scientific study like this one with that information, I'd like to see it, email it to me. So, I mean, I don't know.
He's pretty well established as the main exotic vet in town, even specifically mentioning reptiles. I asked specifically about chameleons on the phone and they said yes, he's seen quite a few. Another member here recommended him and said he does do that vet networking thing, so I was expecting that, but I thought that would be in a tough case, second opinion kind of scenario. If I wanted a random anonymous Internet based diagnosis, lol, well, I'd come here obviously!! Plus you guys are free!! Hahaha. Sigh.
