We had to put Spikey down yesterday. I know she’s in a better place but it still hurts. I really had thought I could make her better. I am pretty certain she had kidney failure. From what I researched, she had all the signs of Acute kidney failure. It happened so fast. Yesterday morning I...

We think Spikey has taken a turn for the worse. She is still not eating anything and is sleeping all day. Yesterday she had two bowel movements and the first was completely black. I was away with my daughter last night and my husband said she passed a lot of blood with basically no stool. She...

Hi Tracie. The hubs and I are brainstorming mounting ideas to put the ReptiSun inside. I think I have something figured out. She slept most of today. I think the Colchine is making her sleepy because she’s typically pretty awake most days. I got her some baby food this morning to see if I...

Thank you! My husband thinks we should see what the vet says on the 27th and if he’ll prescribe Allopurinol then. If not, we’ll be getting the gout kit. ReptiSun is sitting on top of her terrarium right now. I have been hoping to find a cheaper way to install it (I.e. something else to hold...

Tracie, I would appreciate links to both. My son told me she was dragging herself on her belly this morning ?. I just want her to get better and I’m worried. She ate three superworms yesterday but still isn’t touching her greens. I am checking Walmart for the black cherry juice and a mounting...

Thank you! That article is interesting. I had been trying to talk my husband into letting me feed Spikey cockroaches but I guess it’s good that we haven’t. She ate three superworms this morning, had two baths and two bowel movements. Still not eating greens and still being stubborn about her...

Thank you bayoupig5!

Hi again Tracie. I called the vet this morning to ask about Allopurinol and he said he has better luck with the Colchine and they “pretty much do the same thing.” This is contradictory to what I’ve read on these message boards so I am wondering if you would recommend going to a different vet...

Thank you Tracie! I have no idea how to merge the topics but will keep checking both. I’ve never done message boards like this before. Doc did only prescribe the colchine but I will email and ask about allopurinol. I was only giving her the calcium dusting once or twice a week until recently...

I will get her the new lights tonight!! And look into the heater and black cherry extract. Is there a good method to getting them to open for the syringe? She is quite stubborn and bit me the first time I tried (and mistakenly tried to use my finger to prop her mouth open, lessened learned)...

Sorry I meant to post this in ER

Hello everyone! First time poster and beardie mom here. We got Spikey from a local pet store almost a year ago and she has been wonderful. Only issue until recently was constipation over the summer which was helped with prune baby food mixed with veg oil and a little honey. We noticed she...
