Does your beardie poop in his/her sleep? (blood results p.9)

[PudgysMom]

Unshelled eggs - okay! That is good to know! I will request the ultrasound.

He sends them out to some crazy expert (I mean that in a good way) reptile pathologist in Indiana, so that is why it takes a few days. I know. I will be going nuts waiting. I want answers!!

Okay, leaving for real this time. Gonna go get my Pudgy. HAPPY DANCE!!! See you all in a little while!

Just took some pictures and recording.

She, of course, did that little puff of air breath thing she's been doing, so I tried to record her and she didn't do it again! I will keep trying to catch that as well. Give me a few minutes to upload. . . BRB

The AVI movie files do not want to work GRRR.

What Dr. B said in person:
X-rays look good. Definitely no signs of MBD, but there was a tiny little something along her spinal column.
Cytology suggests infection
Waiting on bloodwork, then we do ultrasound
Depending on what those results are, we may do surgery. BUT that is just one day at a time. He detects possible abscesses.

On the car ride home, she pooped. HA! I am telling you this beardie has never pooped so much since I have had her. It was just a little, and it was normal, but I am wondering if it is the new ReptiSun 10.0 or the antibiotics?

I am cleaning out her terrarium, getting everything all ready (NO MORE SAND!) She is just plopped on a pillow until I am finished, sleeping away... :sleepy2:

Here are a bunch of photos from tonight and I'll see if I can get those movie files working:

Here you can see her eye half shut, her ear infection and her lip:

Her eye again. You can also see a bit of the bumpiness on her lip:

Uh oh - stress marks (they seem to be gone now)

Looking at her straight on, you can see the difference in her eyes and how the left side of her face is almost swollen.

This is how her eye looks a lot. Good example of her lip too:

Normal side, but you can see that her lip on the other side is off:

Kind of blurry, sorry. Her ear. It's so crusty.

Her lip and how it's all off:

Excuse my boyfriend's arm. Here's a pretty good picture of her left side altogether...ear, eye and lip

It looks more like an infection on her lip, or a bad retained shed causing it.



Did you try cleaning it with the betidine/iodine solution yet?

A couple of people have mentioned a retained shed. What exactly does that mean?

I have the Betadine, I am just unsure of what solution to use? Is it like one part to one part? How much do I dilute it? Just apply with a q-tip?

Weak tea color : )

And its when the shed does not come off and it stays on, then they go threw another shed and shed it off. Or like in many leopard gecko cases, the retained shed does not come off at all and tightens around their toes, so much so that they lose toes.

 

[PudgysMom]

Got it!

OMG about the geckos! :shock:

Yes, it is as though the last molt she went through, well...it just seemed like she never finished and now this.

Okay, how often do I apply the solution? And do I put any inside her mouth or just on the outside with a q-tip? Sorry for all the questions!

Yea I have a lot of people coming to me at work to show them how to get it off their geckos toes.. I mainly see it when the geckos are on sand. 95% of the time actually.. And they end up with the shed so tight their toes are not able to be saved.

And I would apply it with a q-tip since you don't want her to drink it. I think once daily should be okay, you'll have to double check that with Tracie

 

[PudgysMom]

Ok, thank you so much!

 

[GeckoGarden]

Ok, thank you so much!

Your welcome!

I would love more photos too..

Have you tired using photo bucket?

One of your photos didnt show up

 

[PudgysMom]

Try refreshing your browser. It should be fixed (I messed up the link). I do use Photobucket too, but it's been really slow for me.

I'll be sure to post more photos and work on those two videos too!

 

[GeckoGarden]

Much better haha
I know sometimes it can be really slow.

 

[PudgysMom]

Okay, sorry. One more question. Do I put the solution on her lip only or do I put it on ear/in the little hole too?
