No results/culture. I wasn't able to get an appointment with the new vet any earlier than the 16th, so it'll be a little bit. The current vet wants to prescribe Voriconazole without even doing one. He only put her under a black light and called it ringworm. For her new vet appointment I specifically requested getting a culture though, so we will find out.Hello,
Do you have the results yet or have you gotten a culture done?
The Voriconazole is a routinely used oral anti-fungal & is pretty effective. It doesn't come
without side effects though. All of the anti-fungal oral medications are somewhat hard on
the kidneys so that has to be taken into consideration. Keeping them well hydrated & on a
probiotic during medication rounds is a must especially for fungal treatment.

I finally got access to the records on the website, but I think the reason it took a whole 24 hours was because they had to find all my receipts and just plug in what they charged me for. Nowhere in her records does it even say what she's had surgery for (it was a spay), or mention when I brought her in for a swollen toe, or mention fungus at all. I was hoping her x-ray images would be in there too but they aren't.Hello!
How are things going with your girl? I hope you are able to get copies of the records, because you
paid for them!
Hopefully the raw honey helps out for her more than the cream will. I don't really recommend just
automatically placing her on the oral anti-fungal without trying to verify it with a culture.

I should. Some other things I haven't mentioned is that they have roaches, hang up on you while you're on hold, and the vet has come into an appointmeny saying "Sorry for the wait, I had to do a surgery" and his fingernails were caked in dirt. I only went there because he was the only reptile vet I could find by searching on Google. Thank goodness you guys helped me find somewhere else. I wasn't sure if it was allowed here, but should I say the name of the vet?I would report that vet to the BBB and hit every forum and articulate how horrible you and you beardie have been treated. They only time businesses like that pay attention is when you hurt their wallet.
You need to get the name out there --- they need to be identified as incompetent as they are --- report them to the BBB ---I should.

Ok that is bad if Dr Rossi is on that website -- and yes you did mention the x ray --I am going to be trying Dr. Justin Fyfe at Pet Doctors of America. He showed up on arav.org and surprise surprise, I didn't even see Dr. Rossi on there despite his website claiming that he's "one of the country’s leading authorities in reptile medicine." Unbelievable. Did I mention that he gave her an x-ray to rule out injury first before putting her under a black light to check for fungus (a $10 charge) so that he could charge me the extra $300? I must have. I barely have a job because they cut my hours so badly and I'm only a student; they've totally taken advantage of my willingness to spend my savings on Pancake.
