I'm not sure about the fees in the area you live in. Here in New Brunswick,Canada office visits are $56.00. This is for a full physical exam and all discussions...meds and further diagnostics are extra of course. (a full 10 ml bottle of Calcium Gluconate inj. is only 12.00 here) Doses range...
I understand your situation with finding a vet. I work at a veterinary clinic, we are the only clinic in the area that will even look at exotics... and even we do not have lots of experience with them. I rescued a female veiled with sighns of sever MBD a little over a year ago. It was A LOT of...
Just wondering if there is a deworming protocol for reptiles. I've read a few different things on deworming and different protoza not necessarily being harmful... I had a fecal exam done for my Chinese Water Dragon 'Austin' a year ago or so and it was negative. I'm just noticing my Chameleons...
hey, I'm looking for a good reptile magazine to order. i've checked out all of the stores in my area and nothing. Does anybody know where I could purchase a subscription? or is it even worth purchasing ?? any suggested books would be great too. I have a veiled chameleon, a Chinese Water Dragon...
Hey guys i can't seem to find good literature on the habits of milk snakes and precautions to take in case the snake is a female... are they like chameleons in that they lay eggs regardless of being bred? if so at what age should I watch out for this ? my husband bought me a milk snake for...
I will admit I do not have years of experience with chameleons specifically, however I have worked with animals for 8 years, and I think regardless of the yes or no answer to that question I think is more important to be careful. If the animal is receptive to the food item being ''put'' in...
Does anyone have any experience with picky chameleons? My girl can be so frustrating sometimes. Since rescuing her in Dec 2010 I have always hand fed her. she ususlly has a good apetite except for the 4 weeks before laying she decreases the amount of food items she will take. Her wt on Oct19/11...
wow, I didnt know that !
Thanks for posting the link to the sandrachameleons blog Clarkrw3! I always gutloaded by alternating fruits/veggies..., but I honestly had no idea about using nuts and grinding ingredients to make the substrate for the superworms. I have just used oatmeal! I feel like a...
Does anybody have experiences ordering bugs online in my area? (New Brunswick) also if there is anyone in my area that would like to go in on an order that would be great. from what I could find the nearest place to order from is Ontario and in order to make the shipping worth it the order would...
Wow, love it! did you build it? if so what kind of screen was used? Did you need to polyurithane the wood used? my little gal doesn't realy need that large of a set up but that looks wicked. I have decided that I hate this Canadian climate! It would never/rarley be warm enough where I live to...
Does anybody have suggestions for keeping the water from misting confined to the enclosure? (I have a ''mesh'' style enclosure as reccomended for my cham) it is partially enclosed with a decorative foam peice that I purchased to help to keep the humididy up and the heat in... I sadly don't live...
I went through a similar situation with my little girl. the running joke with my co-workers is she obviously didn't read the text book on egg laying. It is possible that I am just an over protective mommy and caught the signs super early, but Georgia took well over a month from the time I...
Yes I did use a small amount of Cod Liver Oil ( source of vitamin A ) as O.K'D by the vet. Also increased the amount of H20... The other suggestions for laxatives seem to check out too. I will try to put actual pics of my girl on here soon. I do not have the internet where I live, so I will need...
Impacted No more!
Thanks to everyone for their helpful advice. Georgia had very sandy feces in her enclosure yesterday afternoon and ate readily last night :) I am going to try to put the x-rays on here now:)
Sounds reasonable. Here is a little bit of background on my little girl. She was brought in to the clinic where I work with severe MBD. She was unable to walk, not eating, severly dehydrated... the previous owners did not want to spend any $ to correct the numerous husbsndry issues or on...
