It is the t5Is the Reptisun 10 a T 5 or a T 8 ? These bulbs require certain distance and placement - please look on the bulb toward the bottom of the bulb and it will say
ok good -- distance w/ your screen should be 8-10 inches w/ basking decor directly underneath itIt is the t5
It is exactly 8 inchesok good -- distance w/ your screen should be 8-10 inches w/ basking decor directly underneath it
The allopurinol just arrivedHello,
Great, the basking temperatures of 98 is fine, no problem.
As far as the amount of cherry juice, 1ml daily should be fine. That is great she seems to like
the juice.
Oh so she prefers the rocks to bask on instead of the wood stump? Perhaps it just gets warmer
for her than the wood? A lot of dragons love wood. I guess she is more comfortable!
Wow she should perk up really well with the new T5 tube you got her. Did you get the Reptisun 10
or the Arcadia D3 12%?
Sure, just let me know when you get the Allopurinol in.

It would be mixed with water as a slurry.Hello,
Great that the allopurinol got there for you. What is your dragon's weight again & the strength
is 300mg tablets?
Are you mixing it with water & agave syrup?
Tracie
She seems to be comfortable. She eatting great. The allopurinol is in pill form unfortunately. So im not sure how to dose it properly. Here is a pic of what I have exactly.Hello,
The dose would be .01ml. The strength is 300mg/ml, correct?
That is what I calculated it at so let me know that is correct. How is she doing today?
I hope she doesn't get any worse, because swelling is definitely not comfortable for them.

Sorry I haven't been able to respond! Thank you so much for this info! Valkyrie has got worse in terms of the size of her swelling. I have also noticed it has started on her other front wrist and a tiny bit on her right rear joint. She has a appointment tomorrow at 2:40pm est with our vet. She is still in great spirits, eatting, drinking, eatting her veggies. She has even been moving more as well. Fingers crossedHello,
Oh ok. How many tablets are there in the bottle?
I get it, each tablet is 300mg. Ok, no problem. Sorry, I forgot you mentioned mixing it. This is super
easy. Do you have any organic Karo syrup or organic Agave? It suspends better in that, than just
plain water, but, if all you have is water that is ok too. Do you have a way to crush it into fine powder?
A mortar & pestal works pretty well. You will need to crush up 3 tablets, which will be 900mgs. Mix that
with 15mls of distilled water & 15mls of either karo syrup (organic only!) or agave syrup. This mixture
will yield a 3% solution or a solution with a strength of 30mgs/ml.
Does the vet want a dose of 10mg/kg or 20mg/kg or did he specify?
Let me know what dose the vet wants her on & I will dose for you.
