She does look fantastic Em, you've done a wonderful job with her, considering where she came from. And honestly, you can vent here anytime, you should hear what I have to say under my breath whenever I go back & check out those 1st pics of Lexi, I just want to get those people to live like Lexi did for awhile...but can't go back, only forward. I think the pics should be in her file at the vets anyway to show how much she's improved when she goes in. And let us know all about the visit, k?
Leo didn't have any symptoms of mouth rot, I just happened to notice all his teeth were black when I was taking Lonzo and Rubio into the vet for a checkup, so took him with me. He'd never been to the vet, so it was a new experience, so she's now met all my beardies. I've had the same vet since 2006 when I took Sweetie in for the first time, that was so long ago, WOW.
Lonzo is doing really well, his right lung is working a little bit but just that little bit has given him alot more energy and the Acidophiluz has given him more. I'm home with a badly sprained ankle, so he's out for at least 2 hours, running around the living room like he's 5 yrs old instead of 10 years old! It's wonderful to see. He also loves being in his tank, he's got fleece blankets all over the bottom and some logs to lean on and also a pillow, so he's a happy camper and can't flip over anymore.
Rubio has taken to eating roaches, too, but only 1 today, so I made sure he ate squash and some collard greens (not his favourite, he mostly spits them back out at me :shock: the brat).
Didi is still my diva, spends all his time smooshing his face into the glass of his tank when the others are taking their turns in the living room, jumping around from side to side, trying to claw his way out, or trying to jump out. No wonder he never gains weight! When he's on the ramp he pretty well stays there for as long as I let him out, but he honestly feels that ramp is HIS and none of the others have any right to be out there! Here's a pic of the ramp, they all love it and there's a Power Sun at the top:
and here's a pic of the little sofa I found downstairs, they like to lean on it when they've been running around!
Here's Gabriel leaning on it, resting for a little while :lol:
Roger found a box of toys when he first put it together and they love sitting on them, Lonzo was resting his head on the "cat" the other day
If I press the back of the cat, it purrs...it's so cool!
So just wanted to show you a few pics to give you a laugh and no my boys are NOT spoiled :lol:
I don't think Belle has mouth rot, a few discoloured teeth seem to be the norm, Rubio's are discoloured and I've had them checked, the vet said they were fine. If the discolouration grows, then yes, I'd think you'd want them checked. She sounds so much like Leo, very laid back and happy. He loves to just lie on the bottom of his tank & watch TV, but being a male, if he spots anyone outside on the ramp, he'll just sit with a black beard and follow them around. Poor guy hasn't been out of his tank since Feb 1 when he was 1st diagnosed, decided to quarntine him, just to be on the safe side. I'll let you know what the vet says.
