    Swollen eye, no 24 hour reptile vets **Update**

    Thanks everyone. My husband keeps saying we did everthing we could because the blood work wouldn't have come back before he let go, but I still feel like I should have noticed something sooner or that there had to be something we could have done. It sucks because at this point we have no idea...

    Swollen eye, no 24 hour reptile vets **Update**

    When we went to feed Spike we noticed his right eye was swollen and he would or could not open it. We gave him a bath and cleaned it out with just water as best as we could. When we checked on him a few hours later there was a liquid coming out of it. We again cleaned it out. His whole eye area...

    need some advice, beardy with gout

    All of our dragons get crickets about once or twice a week, I am not sure about the concentration of the allopurinol but she was on it the entire time and her counts went up. She was taken off of the calcium because her calcium counts were too high

    need some advice, beardy with gout

    So we found out a few months ago that 1 of our dragons has gout and was put on allopurinol that helped lower her uric acid levels at first. After 3 months she was re checked and the uric acid levels are going back up and her joints are very swollen and seem to be very painful. The vet put her on...

    Spaz has high uric acid and calcium levels

    shes doing good, she liked the car ride running all over the dash board it was pretty funny and moving around her tank a lot more than before, the vet is only testing the uric acid and calcium levels so it wont be a full test.
