I just can't believe that my little Zekey man was only a part of my family for one short year. I'm just relieved to know that nothing about my care of him put him in this situation. I was agonizing over why and how he could have developed the fatty liver and extreme constipation; now I know and...

Thank you all for all of your words of comfort and encouragement over this last month. I'm kind of at a loss for words beyond that, but I really do want to thank all of you for being with us through this.

Unfortunately the vet's suspicions were right. There were two clusters of tumors in his stomach and the vet said there were likely more throughout his body. There would have been no way to remove all the tumors and he told me this cancer is particularly aggressive, so I opted to put Zeke to...

We have an appointment for first thing tomorrow morning. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Well, Zeke threw up again this morning. He is up on his basking spot sleeping today and passed a urate (small with no stool). My vet finally gave me a call back and the news isn't good. He told me he spent the weekend researching and talking to other reptile specialists and they could only...

I suppose it could just be exhaustion. After all, he spent the last month seriously ill and nearly two months prior kind of ill. I'd be trying my hardest to sleep too. I know my little guy is giving this everything he has. He has that kind of will that just keeps holding on. I just want all of...

No word from the vet today. He was supposed to give me a call, but I guess he didn't have time. I'm going to call tomorrow and see if I can't talk to him at the time I call. About half the time my vet is able to come ot the phone right then and there so maybe I will get lucky tomorrow. And...

I'm still waiting around for the vet to call. However, I can tell you guys that Zeke is having another day like Saturday. He didn't get on his basking spot and slept most of the day away. We did get a good bath in though so I'm happy with that; at first he was set on sleeping through the bath...

Thought I'd pop in really quick to say that Zeke seemed a little more energetic today. I was gone most of the day, but I came home to find him sleeping about halfway up on his basking spot. Mind you, despite getting up on his basking spot daily, he is sleeping most of the time so it wasn't...

I think the lack of food may finally be really wearing on Zeke. He slept the entire day today and as the day got later it was harder to wake him. I'm really hoping we just had a bad day and I'll see him up on his basking spot tomorrow. Everyone is trying so hard and we're getting so close to...

He is still doing pretty much the same. He is still bubbling out of his nose, but hasn't actually vomited since Wednesday. My vet hasn't been able to talk to the other vet he was trying to get a hold of yet so we're just waiting to hear back.

I don't think I've ever mentioned where Zeke is at weight-wise and since I talked about weight loss, I think I should mention exactly how much my guy weighs. Back on June 13th, when I took Zeke in because he hadn't eaten for 3 weeks, Zeke weighed 483 grams. Then when I took him in on June 30th...

I had already cleaned him up. However, there was no need for any pictures. When the vet tried to tube feed Zeke today (my little man was squirming too much for me to have any success) Zeke bubbled a little out of his nose before throwing up all over the vet. As much as I don't like my guy...

I believe tomorrow, seeing how nothing has improved, is planning on running some sort of test to see what sort of movement Zeke is getting when it comes to food. I don't know what exactly he intends to do or if I will be looking at any fees; he mentioned doing either an ultrasound or some sort...

Yeah, I found the same site as you when I looked it up. Anyways, I gave it a shot and mixed it in with his food morning. Unfortunately he started bubbling from his nose almost immediately after I tube fed him. Then, when I checked on him after work, his face seemed to be covered in the stuff...
