Well, Miss Sophie is staying at the vet's for a while. Her blood sugar was still off the charts. The doc found a hard lump in her belly () that he thinks might be a tumor on her pancreas causing it. But he wants to try to strengthen her before putting her under anesthesia to remove it. So...

Hi, Tracie! Weighed Sophie again tonight - she's lost 1g in 5 days...I guess that's an improvement. She didn't drink in her bath tonight, but she was more active, so I'm hoping that's a good sign. We'll see what the doc has to say in the morning.

Here's my beautiful girlie! The 1st pic is older when she was well; the other 2 are recent. http://s262.photobucket.com/user/edgotbait/media/monsters/imagejpg3.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2 http://s262.photobucket.com/user/edgotbait/media/monsters/imagejpg2.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1...

Hi, Tracie! Thanks so much for taking the time to look over the test results for me. I really appreciate it. I don't know about eggs - we adopted her from someone so I don't know her complete history. The vet said no sign of infection or parasites and he did say she was dehydrated, so I've been...

She drank a little in her bath ladt night and then slept on me for a few hours (normally she would have been running around exploring). So obvious she doesn't feel well. Doc has me giving her liquid calcium by syringe 2x a day. I'm wondering if I should be feeding her anything by syringe....

When she was eating, she was getting Repashy Veggie Burger daily w/dubias 2x/wk I have her test results, but not sure how to post them.....

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing about Maxie! I made the mistake of googling and read nothing but horror stories! I've been sobbing all night - thank you for giving me hope!

Hi, everyone. I took my Sophie to the vet today because she's been lethargic & not eating, and she has lost 50g in the last 2 weeks. The vet felt something hard in her belly & did an x-ray that showed something, but he didn't know what. He said it could be some undigested dubias. He also did...

All my other babies hate the powder, too! I've started feeding them the Repashy gel foods to make sure they get all their nutrients. The beardies love the Veggie Burger.

Hi, Goonie - thanks for replying. He doesn't seem to favor any particular side or direction - I can hold the food a couple inches in front of his nose and sometimes he'll dive straight down and get a mouthful of my bedspread or jump into the air! No, he doesn't walk in circles or run into...

Hello, everyone! I've got a little "special needs" dragon who is presenting quite a challenge when it comes to feeding him. No matter where I put the food (in a shallow bowl right under his nose, in my fingers, on the cage floor, from above with tongs), he lunges in a completely different...

Thanks for the tips & good wishes!

Hey everybody! Goliath is doing well, but I'm still having to force feed him. He does try to get the food, but he always misses, so in order to get some in him I have to do it. I hate it cuz it stresses the little guy out. He licks the jump start from the end of the syringe, so I thought...

Here's a pic .... but remember he's 4 months old!! Looks like a little baby, doesn't he?!
