[QUOTE="GraphicTortoise, post: 1976392, member: 112136"] Smaug is still doing extremely well so far. He has gone a little darker in color a few times before it's medicine time and is opening his mouth a lot out of discomfort and probably anger, but overall he's staying pretty light colored and no completely black beards. He's alert and way more active than I was expecting. He's accepting high reward foods like live feeders and fruit, but I'm able to sneak a few greens into his mouth too. My goal is to slowly get him to eat more greens and less high reward items, but for now just eating is good enough for me! The wound is being kept dry and pooping isn't an issue at all. Luckily the wound and sutures are on his side away from his vent. I'm still disinfecting his tail as needed though and using absorbent reptile pads as substrate which has worked wonderfully. The pads lock liquids in better than paper towel in my opinion. I probably won't update again until we get his leg biopsy results back, or if there's a drastic change. I'll probably update the post name at that point too if possible since this is no longer about arthritis. Thank you guys for the support! It has been a very stressful time, but I feel a lot better knowing my guy is pulling through and doing so well. [/QUOTE]
