Thanks so much, Frances. Unfortunately, little Val lost the fight over night, but I think this might be best if all he had to look forward to is more surgery. He was a little trooper. The tumor had to be removed as it had grown and he had lost weight. He would not have survived with it for much longer. At least we tried, and since Dale did a good deal of research on anesthetic and how to proceed before he operated, he now knows a little more about treating other reptiles, so his little life meant a great deal to other little scalies that need help.
I will give everybody a hug as soon as I am no longer contagious. :lol: My students paid me back for making them think by giving me a virus. :evil: :lol:
