Thanks to all who have kept me in there thoughts. I can't believe how much I miss him. I keep wanting to check on him since that was what I always did before leaving the house and when returning. So much of my life was taking care of him. I kinda feel lost today.

Just wanted to let anyone who had followed Neato's story that he passed away yesterday. Neato would have turned 8 next month. He had been through so much and was such a fighter. Sonogram showed tumors in his liver. Vet believes liver/kidney failure cause. I don't know what I'll do without my...

Does anyone have a recipe for a healthy slurry. Neato will not eat on his on and has been hand feed for a couple years now. He has been diagnosed with liver damage and I need to make sure I am feeding him a healthy diet.

Neato went to work with me yesterday and seemed very alert but not active. My coworkers kept going back to check on him. I have storytime this morning and will have to come back home to get him after so he can spend the day getting watched. He stays in the storytime room. I think the...

Does anyone know how to help a beardie with liver damage. A scope was done and it showed my 7 1/2 year old beardie's liver was in bad shape. He was given Silymarin to help his liver function. The vet said he had seen great results in liver damaged birds using the silymarin. I want to do...

Vet doesn't think Neato has cancer. He didn't find any tumors inside him. He said lungs, heart and intestines all looked good. Neato liver is in bad shape. It is over sized, misshapen and orange and yellow instead of the normal reddish. Neato is to take silymarin for liver function for...

This waiting is so hard. I hope it is just an infection or something. Neato already had skin cancer removed last year and radiation since they didn't remove all the cancer cells. At that time they said that kind of cancer didn't metastasize to other areas. I don't know. Poor Neato. I've...

I just got back home from dropping Neato off for a scope surgery. Vet is using tiny scope to see what is growing in his chest. He believes the tumor is growing inside his liver and it will be inoperable. Please keep him in your thoughts Lynn

Please keep Neato in your thoughts. He will be having scope surgery Monday. The vet believes he may have inoperable tumor inside his liver. He will cut tiny slit and put in scope so he can look inside Neato's chest. Neato is 7 1/2. I am very worried and scared. Lynn

scream99 I'm not sure about the fecal cost. Those little things are usually done at my local vet. That office is only 14 minutes away, Milford is about an hour. She is really good with Neato but doesn't know as much as Dalhahlsen. I have heard of your vet and he is supposed to be really...

The vet is Dr Robert Dahlhausen in Milford. When Neato had cancer last year Dahlhausen came highly recommended as the best exotics vet in the area. I have to drive about an hour to get to him. We took Neato all the way the the university of Tennessee for radiation treatments. After doing...

I am not trying to freak anyone out but I felt I should share the following information. I just arrived home from the vet. I see a reptile specialist in Cincinnati Ohio. Anyway he said something shocking. He says the reptile vets are seeing problems in beardies and other animals that are...

x ray went fine but no results yet. They gave me a cd with of the x ray but I can't tell anything. It almost looks like his ribs were broken and rehealed. So now I worry switching from the megra to the reptisun didn't give him enough uv. I don't know. I am so worried. I know 7 1/2 is...

Please keep Neato in your thoughts. He will be getting xrays tomorrow. He has some type of growth in his chest area. After the xray the vet will decide if a scope can to used to get visual inside him and maybe get small biopsy. Neato is 7 1/2 years old and about a year ago he had skin cancer...

Hi, Just wanted to give an update on Neato for anyone that had kept up with his story. The mouth infection is back again and the vet put him back on an antibiotic. Luckily she doesn't believe his cancer is back but she still doesn't know why he produces so much saliva. Tiny back story for...
