    Thank you guys, my husband and I are still in disbelief that she's really gone, I'm relieved that she's not in pain anymore and that my husband was holding her when she took her last breath, the vet called me back finally but it was too late and they offered a free autopsy to find cause of death...

    The crickets get whatever greens I'm feeding that week, same things as I feed Ripley, the Alfalfa meal is to provide more protein? So right now I'm thinking she has a hard urate she can't get out and that's what is causing the straining .. the last few poos come out soft and semi formed with no...

    Please help! High uric acid levels & infection

    I was thinking could it be a hardened urate? But she's been having bowel movements almost everyday so I don't see how she can be constipated? I forgot to mention the vet also wants to start her on Metronidazole ... should she take it? Or should I wait for the fecal test?
