FORMER student! Right! :lol: Glad to hear Oscar seems to be in a better place than he was a few days ago! That med you took him off musta been kickin his butt! Poor thing. Another song I thought of: Carly Simon: Anticipation...is keeping me waiting. :| We hum Jeopardy tune around here all the time, especially at restaurants when my husband is figuring out the bill/tip! :lol:
The boarding thing...ya just never know I guess. I was at another place that boards and I was lookin around and saw BIG crickets in with a skink that was being boarded. Didn't like that. Skink = Midnight snack. No thanks, I'm all set... They weren't conveniently located for a drop off anyway.
Dino is looking so much better these days.
Definitely hard to avoid picking at her. If she's shedding and it's bubbling up in her shower/
bath, off it comes when she gets out, other than that I have to leave it alone. That nasty scab under her eye is driving me bonkers! It will loosen up to where I think it can come off but NOPE still stuck there at the end. Looks raw underneath too. Frustrating. That's not even from the fungus...dumb vet did that! How about: Let's take a Q-tip and rub vigorously around the eye area to remove some of this crust!! Ahhh,
NO. And she went to school for how long?
Clearly, not a reptile vet. She would've known better. She picked when she shouldn't have and picked too much!! I haven't been back there since Dino was almost dead from meds. Her last instructions were to stop the intraconazole and keep going with the nebulizer treatments. I stopped both and started using Reptaid. Seems to be clearing her up so I'm gonna keep going with it til she's all healed. I have the name of another vet, who is a board certified REPTILE vet. I will bring Dino in for a check up and a stool check probably over the summer sometime just to get her established there and get her history on file IN CASE we have any more problems...Dear God, I hope not!
"Up North" for us is Rangeley, Maine!!! I live in Massachusetts. That's the western part of Maine, not too far from Canada. My hubby & his buddies have snowmobiled into Canada before for some Pomme Frites...so they say! About 2 hours up to Canada by sled. He & my son go up in the summer to ATV ride too. Me, not so much. I like the cold, harsh winter waaaay better, NO BUGS. I hate bugs. The fact that I have to handle bugs for Dino just blows everyones mind around here! :laughhard: Gimme snow and 10 below any day over heat & flying insects!
Yup, hand warmes are the kind you're thinking of and I have used water bottles, just regular ones though, for trips to the vet in the winter. One on each side of her, wrapped in towels! :wink: Vet tech gave me the hand warmers idea. He was at least helpful. I think he knew more than she did about reptiles! Hopefully Oscar will be feeling better soon and you can get some enjoyment in for yourself...sick beardie = full time job #2, I know! :roll: Been there, done that...still doing it part time now!
