Hello everyone, Thanks for the support. I cannot even express how sad I am. I have just spent the whole day alone, sitting in my bedroom, working online, and feeling blue. Every time I see his tank, it makes me feel like crying. I am so used to taking care of him - now the tank is just empty and...

Yes, this is how I felt. Back when I used to do rescue, at first I wanted to save everything, no matter what. Once I took this little cat that had been hit by a car and left on our street to die - to the vet, she had some spinal injury. I asked the vet (whom I loved dearly) "can we save her"...

Hello everyone, I am very sad - I had to have Carni put down early this morning. I had recently taken him to the vet several more times, he had been given batril shots, calcium shots, and batril to take at home and eye ointment to kee his eyes from being stuck shut. He had become so bad off...

I do have a heating pad, but it cuts off after every hour, so I will do the rice sock. I thought about the mineral oil, but was not sure since somewhere I had read a long time ago that you should not get oil on their skin as they absorb much of their water this way, so I just was never sure...

Hey everyone, I finally did get a couple of images, one of the dragon - and one more of his belly (just in case) You can check the image links at: http://www.glimmeringgems.com/images/Ebay/Random/Carni.jpg http://www.glimmeringgems.com/images/Ebay/Random/Carni2.jpg As for my ebay store - the...

Hello, I think you may be right about the partial impaction. I fed him (actually over fed him earlier - sincere thanks for the food measurements) and when I was giving him a warm bath, he kept trying to go, but could not. I let him sit under the light for a hour or two, then went back and gave...

One more thing - I lost my password and keep having to reset it because now it is random. Is there a place where I can go and reset my password to one that I can remember? Thanks, Rhonda

Hello, Thanks for the info. He did have a bm today - and it was slightly runny (probably due to the pedialite) and very green. Now - anyone have any thoughts on the anatomy of the dragon, I tried to google it, but only came up with one page that showed the dissection, and since things were...

Hi, No - the vet did not take an xray. I should have asked for one - but did not think to for some reason - (duh moment) I think I was just too worried and trying to pay attention to what he was saying to think to ask. I dont know about the whole impaction thing, I mean he has a what I call...

Hi, Sorry for not having time to update everyone. Hubby is sick, daughter is sick and missing school, dragon is sick... wow... sometimes it seems there is never enoughh time!yes (Plus - I did do one early yesterday am, then hit some stupid key and it all vanished) :oops: Did not have time to...

Oh yeah, I tried to pass him off to the daughter, and all he wanted to do was run from her. I tried to pass him off to the hubby, and all he did was run from him. When I hold him - he just sleeps..... I think I may be getting scammed.... LOL.. No really - right now he is sleeping in a warm...

Hmm, I really have felt guilty for a very long time that he is not around other lizards. I am positive that he did not get ivromectin. I would have recognized that name as I remember it being used for something else - wait - isent that used in dogs for heartworms? Anyway - I would have...

Hi again everyone, Sorry I had to get some packages ready to ship (own a little ebay store and if I do not keep up with the shipping - everything becomes one big mess) I did pick up some spray type calcium. I did massage him (funny I am RMT) hehehe- he got a good rub! He did not go poo. I...

Ok - So I am back from Walmart. I took him out in the sun for a little bit - and then used the syringe and fed him some squash and apples with pedialyte. He only ate about 1 teaspoon, but he did lick it off of the tip of his mouth (reluctantly) as I kept adding more until he tried his best to...

Yesterday was the first time I bought the superworms. usally I just offer some mealworms every now and then since I thought they eat mainly veggies when they are grown. I figured possibly he was missing the protien in these since he had gotten sick. The vet gave him the shot of antibiotics for...
