Hey guys, I was hoping for some better assistance then that i just received from my "reptile" vet.
First off, Pistol is my little rock star dragon, she is prob 6 or 7 years old. Every year, she brumates around April, when it starts to get hot and the air conditioner is on in the house. I let her do her thing, and its never been an issue. She does brumate for a while. This year, it is AUGUST, and she is in a funk. She will wake up, move around, but thats about it. I have checked the UV, the heat/temp, I have tile in the bottom, I dont feed live anything except an occasional cricket or worm, no drafts, lots of veggies before she went into this funk.
ive taken her to my local Reptile Vet, and he pumps her full of vitamins and food, and tells me that she should be up and moving, and that if not, she has Cancer. Seems like a pretty wide speculation. I have found another reptile vet, and she is pretty far away. I want to get my girl packed up, kept comfy on our trip, and utilize the time at the new vet wisely. So- I figure a fecal? A blood panel? xrays? What else?
