    He is really picky with eating. He will not try anything new willingly so I have to syringe it to him. I mix the yoghurt with the black Cherry juice and syringe it to him but it always stains his teeth it makes me chuckle. I tried offering it on a low bowl and he pretty much dragged himself...

    Coccidia and Gout

    Rocket was very alert when I woke this morning he was already following me with his head as I got ready. I let him sleep on an old shirt as he decided to go under the pillow and sleep in my bed whilst I was distracted. Is this normal? Today I had him on the bed next to me and the next thing I...

    Coccidia and Gout

    Hello I have done a fair bit of research myself online and I have come across sceptic arthritis. He images shown look exactly like rocket. With his limp leg. I think you saw that of a bearded dragon previously a few years ago that also got a shrivelled tail. Maybe the vet just didn't know to...

    Coccidia and Gout

    The legs closest to my hand in both are the swollen ones with suspected gout. He cant bend it well, it just hangs sometimes but he tries very hard to run with it..especially at medicine time. Other than that, the refusal to eat, and the often refusal to poo, he is happy, healthy and as naughty...
