[QUOTE="Spider8ait1994, post: 2044315, member: 101939"] Spike continues to do well, the weather has been good lately so he’s been having some time outside and enjoying the sunshine and soaking in his paddling pool. Still loving his dandelion flowers. I was clearing shed scales out of the little crevice where his surgical incision was two days ago and discovered he had one single little stitch that hadn’t dissolved or come out and was able to carefully remove that. Seemed like he felt a lot better with that out and he’s been nice and active after soaking up the sun. His digestion seems to be sorted out now after having slowed down after his surgery for a bit but he’s back to regular passing of waste with everything looking good and healthy. Movement wise he’s definitely not as fast as he once was but he’s still able to get around. I’m now using one of his spare blankets to roll up and place next to him when he goes to sleep as a ‘barrier’ because I found some nights he was waking up and moving around resulting in falling off his ledge he sleeps on because with his vision loss and in the dark he’s not seeing the edge of the ledge and stepping over so with his rolled blanket parried he has a physical object there to tell him no further and that’s definitely helped him avoid further tumbles. His breathing still sounds nice and normal and likewise his heart is sounding healthy and consistent with no abnormalities in pace or sound. It’s been 7 months since his diagnosis now and there’s no signs of the tumor returning anywhere at the moment. That brings me to a question: does anyone know of any other dragon who’s had a Chromatophoroma tumor and lasted for this long after diagnosis? I’ve been looking around about this and haven’t come across anything that seems to indicate dragons last more than 2-3 months and likewise his vets don’t seem to have come across any either so we’re wondering if he’s possibly the longest known survival time after such a diagnosis?
