Thank you. I believe he is in some pain. It almost sounds like he us letting out a little puff of air if you aren't super careful how you handle him. Then there's the twitching of his hindleg. He has difficulty getting his balance on occasion as well. He seems so uncomfortable.😭😭
I also read where you had suggested a towel instead of his hammock..He hates change of any sort. Will switching that be as difficult for him to handle stress wise as the hamster hammock o had tried earlier? Just in your opinion..I'm sorry I have so many questions.
Ok on the inches and I believe the bulb is due for a change. It is a little over 6 months. Closer to 7. I think I had info that suggested switching out at 6. Is that correct?
Morning, so his UVB Is a Reptisun T5 HO 10.0 UVB 22" that we have mounted beneath his lid screen. I will post a picture in a sec. So I need a digital probe as well as the digital gun? Omg.. you would never guess my boy as 3.5 years old with the lack of knowledge I have.
Also while you are here...
I had not read this prior to my post about Luap. Thank you so much for commenting on my thread..I love my Exotic Vet. He has been wonderful with my babies. But at same time had requested an enema..I'm ever wo glad my baby went poo before I allowed this to happen..Thank you again for commenting
Unpasteurized honey. I had not thought of that. Yes I was so thrilled he poo'd I cried. He seems pretty alert when he is out with me. I know he hurts. I'm hoping that Meloxicam can help him..I won't let them euthanize him. I may be selfish but he seems too alert for me to say thats it.. he is...
Hey there. So after almost a week and daily bathing I was able to get him to go potty.. it seems with his hindleg and spinal issues potting has become difficult for him..
He was scheduled for an enema tomorrow and thank goodness he pottied today..Such relief here..of course that doesn't take...
I did not have the time this mornin to list but his Viv has a T5 Reptisun 10.0 UVB. We also have a 150watt Zoo-Med basking bulb and a 65watt CHE for the colder nights. His Temps range from about 79 cool side to 104 in his basking area.
Now, as far as his greens I listed earlier what I had...
This photo is this mornin. Normally he would sleep full body on top of the hammock. But as you can see his bottom half hanging off like this. I assume he is laying this way because of the pain he feels..
They had me discontinue the pain meds for fear of more damage to his liver. So we have...
Good mornin, so our Vet put Luap on Meloxicam for the first 4 weeks. I gave it every day for 3 days then we went to every other day. This visit last week he told me to atop with the pain meds as he felt that was to harsh on his liver. He also gave some Lactulose Solution for his liver. It is my...
