I'm so sorry. She was so lucky to have you to care for her.

They're housed together, but she seems to be the more dominant one, so I haven't worried too much about it yet. I have my eyes open for another enclosure, though, because I'm starting to think that her sister may actually be her brother. She's tried to attack my adult male through the glass on...

She looks great!!! You must be so relieved. Both of you have been through hell and back.

Thanks! She's doing fine, eating, pooping, etc. Very active, just smaller than her sister.

What good news all around!!!! It must be such a relief to be able to finally enjoy Dino as a pet and not a patient as well as focus your happiness on your daughter. What a great accomplishment!! I was in a "show pop" group (think Glee) when I was younger (um...well over 25 years ago lol) that...

Milk & honey! I thought my friends were crazy when they suggested it, who knew it would work?!?! I'm definitely going to post some pics on a separate thread. I need to get myself a bit more organized and do it when my daughter is here to hold him up. I'm really really really hoping it's nothing...

LOL I'm also in the over 40 club, so no more lactating friends for me, either. I'm looking for info because my big guy has shown a few signs. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it's not. So far, he just has some yellowish areas on his belly that I think are retained scales. I'm loading...

I came across this thread while searching for info on yf and just read from day one (well, I skimmed some, but got the details). I have to say that you are AMAZING!!! Wow, your perseverance and advocacy for Dino are amazing. I hope she's doing better and that the MRSA is going away - it's...

I did a direct smear and float for one of my 5 month old girls today and saw a few motile organisms that I didn't recognize in the direct smear (with sterile saline). I've noted the video with the history and details but will give them here as well: Direct smear for bearded dragon fecal exam...

Thought I'd take a minute and jump on here to update on Comet. He's fully recovered, but more spoiled than ever. Won't touch crickets or Phoenix worms. He will only eat supers and hornworms. I guess we could have worse problems! He's gone from 122 grams to 175 since our little incident and is...

Yesterday he finally ate a few superworms and crickets! Woo hoo! Nothing like he did before he had this incident, but it's a start. He's refusing butterworms and his Phoenix Worms. He's become increasingly feisty. I think puberty may have set in? He was born Labor Day weekend. His...

I started to give him the squash slurry a week ago. I put the superworms in the little bowl that I put his Phoenix Worms/super worms, etc in when I give them to him. It's a little bowl with aprox 1" high sides. I'm thinking that they managed to escape as I haven't seen any evidence of them in...

Another update... He's still not showing much interest in any insects, but it is increasing a bit. I didn't feed any squash yesterday because I wanted to see if he would get hungry enough to eat his supers. I thought he ate two supers in the morning, but then this morning I fed him some squash...

Thank you! I am planning on getting silkworms next time ordering food so I'm sure that will help. He's continued to take the squash and has been pooping right on time every morning. His stool has become increasingly runny and watery-I'm wondering if it's because all he's getting is squash and...

Yes-definitely. When I've given to him in the past, he's only gotten one three times a day. He practically inhales them. He's usually like that with his Phoenix Worms as well-I need to be sure he's eaten his greens before I put the Phoenix Worms in his tank or he won't even look at his greens...

We're heading into Bend this afternoon to get the kid some clothes, I'm going to stop at our favorite reptile place and get some superworms. He just got big enough for them last month and loved them, so maybe a few will stimulate his appetite. He feels so empty when I pick him up! I'm so used to...

Update: He seems to have pulled through the worst of it. Now he won't eat. I think he's really stressed by me having to force water into him (after I had to force medication into him). He's taking a couple ccs of pureed squash from the syringe and seems to perk up when he realizes he's going to...

Thank you! They are't the best slides-the debris got in the way and doing it on my improvised lab station wasn't exactly ideal lol. I searched everywhere for instructions on doing a proper count because I no longer have my micro text book, but couldn't find any. The computer image has the grid...

OK... Real quick before I pass out for the night. I've been researching some more and discovered that Baycox is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Is there anything I can give him to help detox the liver specifically and/or help with kidney function? I'm sure his poor little...

After this morning's regurgitation, he's held everything else down. We had a small amount of watery poo this afternoon. The poo was formed, but very watery, and the urates were soft. Was probably from the small amount of peaches he ate this morning. He's so mad at me-especially when I have to...
