She is doing great! She loves the slurry I made for her. I have never seen her attack Food (not feeders) like she is the slurry. Problem is it Has to come from a spoon from.Mom, but that's hardly a bad problem:) the swimming is going ok, she isn't quite comfortable but she is getting used to it...

Thank you Traci. You have been a huge help to me and the community so many tomes, for so many years. We are going to start water therapy today. Can you tell me where you get your products? There are so many variations, I want to use what you know. I feel safety that way. The vet gave me . I...

Its been about a month. They sent me home with antibiotics (that she doesn't need- she is not acting at all sick). Told me to follow up in several months to check on the weight loss. So I do not know if the follicles have absorbed.I am surprised that they didn't recommend anything for liver...

Hi guys. Lola is a little too fluffy. Ok a lot. She was making gasping hissing noises, so we saw the vet. Her weight is messing with her hormones. She went into hormones and after that it started. Her egg follicles are not being absorbed and they are large, pushing on her lungs. She is getting...

That was a fast add! Great!!

Hi guys. Not a newb but haven't been on much, just busy with life:) I can help with the beardie rescue train, I am in Central Illinois. I am currently a volunteer director at a non-profit parrot rescue, but I'm also interested in helping with other exotics...(birds, reptiles, etc) if anyone...

Maybe impacted, first thought. She goes through not eating spells no on can figure out. But did have two small roaches yesterday, I know they weren't too big but I am keeping that in mind. But her whole self is limp. If I don't support her back/ hind legs they just hang limp. She can Move her...

Having the exact same problem with Lola. Now if I give veggies in the form of baby food from a syringe feeder she loves it. I cannot keep doing that. She is 5 yrs old, she never loved her veggies but did eat some. Now NONE. And dipping it in the water doesn't work. Squeezing blueberry juice on...

Update: We decided as a family that the stress and side effects of the terbinafine and the itraconazole were not worth the stress for Stewie. Despite treatments the fungus persists. We decided after three years of treatments and surgeries that it was time to just stop. Our hope was Stewie would...

He has been on itracononazole and now terbinafine. My vet said we could try Voriconazole but its too expensive. I use silver sulf. cream. I do have pictures but they are on my phone that is dead lol. I have given him a week off and he is eating more. I think that if I don't treat him at all I...

His eyes look bright, he is active when he comes out. He is happy when when he is off the meds, and I'm not hurting him cleaning his wounds. On the meds, he doesn't eat on his own hardly ever. Its been three years. I wish I could say that I can treat him and at least keep the fungus from getting...

This isn't being posted lightly. I cannot decide if Stewie is suffering, if I should continue treatment for YFD, or not. He has been treated for this for three years. Despite five or six procedures, being medicated 90% of the time, topically and painfully cleaning and treating wounds...we...

Keep an eye on that spot. Sometimes it appears clear after shedding, and soon enough it may start appearing yellow again. It won't hurt to keep putting the topical treatment on there for a week or two to keep it from coming back. Good luck!

How is Rufus doing?

I need to find a way to get voriconazole. Its not as easy as the vet writing a script. He wants to prescribe it- but no one seems to have it in stock. The only way to get it is to have our apothecary order it, and I would have to pay full price on a shipment ($300) and to make a compound when we...
