Thank you all for the well wishes. This has been very hard, harder than I though. I have lost many animals in my life but I realized this was the first time I had to make the decision to have them put to sleep. This has been a rough end to what should have been a good week. My and one of my...

Yes I'm at the vets now to give her fluids and I emailed our vet and she said not to wait if it's that bad so instead of fluids we're going to do it now. It is for the best.

Okay, I have come to the derision that I have to do something serious with Kacey. We are doing liquid feedings daily and she is getting fluids at the vet every other day. She has not gained any weight and she is starting to look unhappy. She is upside down a lot and she is not sleeping well at...

Update: she just pooped on her own and it was pretty normal.

My dragon Kacey has ADV and has been deteriorating neurologically. This is a very long post just to warn you! I posted about this same issue with this same dragon July of last year but she has gotten worse. She was reportedly hatched around March 5, 2013 but I think that date is off about a...

I may be freaking out for no reason. I could tell yours was much bigger that mine. I may be feeding them too well!! D0 you weight yours? I got a kitchen scale, digital, so I can know how theyre growing because they are not grow yet.

She's beautiful and yellow like mine who's going through this!!!. Trust the vet, mine had a bump on his lip on the tip of his chin, that we didn't know what it was from. The vet did xrays and found nothing and figured it was a fluid cyst. I did'nt think it would help but the antibiotics made it...

I'm sorry to hear about your baby. I just posted about mine also having a swollen belly. Mine is Adenovirus positive and I know that liver failure can happen. What were the other things the vet said it could be? I know I was advised that if it was liver issues giving the supplement Serapeptase...

My boy Kaden is ADV+ as are all of my dragons. I am scared that he is having excess fluid in his belly. He is active and eats well. He walks around and seems to have no impairment. I am going to make an appt with the Vet when the office opens. It has been this way for a while. I thought it may...

I do not want to give up on Kacey. You are right that it could be viewed in the same way I would approach it as if it was a human child. My vet is a reptile vet and she is one of the Professors at the school of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She did take numerous pictures...

So..I finally took my boy Kacey to the vet to find out if he had MBD, or neurological issues that was causing him to walk on his knuckles and twitch. First it seems that Kacey is probably a SHE not a HE. The next thing is that her twitching and knuckling is not due to MBD her bones are fine. It...

He's eating fine like a pig!! I do have the light way above his tank due to the wattage like you state. He is gaining weight still but I had to take out his climbing structure and his hammock as he was still getting up there and when he went to go to sleep tonight he fell out of the hammock. He...

Tracie Since I wont know anything until Wednesday after I go to the vet could you move this thread to a more appropriate section, especially as it may be exasperated by his ADV status. Thanks Jacqui

I got paranoid and went out and bought a Mercury Vapor Bulb. I bought an Exo Terra Solar Glo 160w bulb. Since he is in a small tank I have the bulb raised over the tank to make sure the temps stay right. He really took to it right after I put it in. Is this an acceptable brand/type of bulb? The...

Oh the bulbs are from around late April. Should I get a mercury vapor bulb?

Sorry for the late response. I have been shooting up the horn worms he eats with liquid calcium from the vet. His light is the reptisun 10.0 he is in a 20 gallon long tank and the light is about 10 inches from him at the furthest. He has a basking lamp that's 100 watts. Now the screen is between...

All of a sudden my baby Kacey has started doing things like walking on his wrists. He has the proper lighting UVB and UVA. He is about 7 inches from the top near the lights when he wants to be. The general temps are 96-100 for the basking and 85-87 for the cool area. I have started him on liquid...

I'm sorry for your loss. Your post prompted me to put a post in the health section. The topic is titled "It may sound morbid..." I know you will do well with your new baby and don't worry you weren't too attached it was a living creature you cared for of course you were attached. Again sorry...

Hi All, I'm not sure that this is the right forum to post this but i wanted to get this info out incase people weren't aware. Many of us love our pets like family and it is a great pain when they pass. I just wanted to let you know that there are Pet Crematoriums around that can cremate your pet...

Thanks I'm thinking until they get grown I need to be working at home because they miss their personal servant when I'm gone!! :lol:
