it has been a while....although i've had the typed gross necropsy report for some time, there were several other post-mortem tests that you had done, correct? those i don't have. however, the pancreatic hemorrhagic lesions, thoracic wall hemorrhage, and coelomic exudate noted are perfect...

the volume only of the meds doesn't help; need to know the concentration as well. but from your description of an early URI just a few days should have her in the right direction; side effects like anorexia or diarrhea non-withstanding. i would just fill a little Rubbermaid bowl or something w/...

lol!! thanks y'all!! i'm laughing in surprise; i didn't know it came out, and it's been so long i gave up on it! they approached me at the last NRBC in August 2013, and said it would be in the Feb. issue which came out in December. nada, nada, nada......i have an e-subscription to Reptiles on...

to the OP--- yes she's small and fragile, but you would really have to work hard to damage her lips or anything serious when medicating her. other tricks besides those mentioned: -use a credit card to help wedge their mouths open -tap her nose/some pressure on her temporal lobes to have...

i also am not aware that chams can absorb any water through their skin, at least not to any significant degree. however, if they are in a tub they can absorb a tremendous amount of water through their cloaca; perhaps what JF meant?

since this thread was created in 2009, the ARAV website has been upgraded to help find ARAV-member vets much more easily. the link: http://www.arav.com/find-a-vet/

i hate to update this, but Kevin passed away last year. he was such a huge personality and incredible veterinarian. his death was completely unexpected, a week after the annual ARAV conference. many in the industry are still stunned by his loss. his career was a shining example of how to do it...

i've used them for decades, when conditions allow for WC insects. i absolutely love them! i have 2 now, but a bulb blew on one. the replacement that i bought from LLL does not work, so i'm down to one. i had no problems in the past w/ replacement bulbs but i think ZooMed is discontinuing them...

just a tip--if you go through life making decisions based on what you are or are not sure of, you're going to wind up disappointed....no one is sure of everything and anything. i'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful, just making a point. if we're going that route, i am quite sure that if...

in addition to all the external/metabolic causes of this happening that were mentioned, i don't think anyone mentioned that this could have all happened internally as well. the ultra-tip of the tail has the absolute weakest and most sluggish bloodflow in the body. any bacteria that might be...

cute girl! "Stumpy"?

i have to disagree, jann. not that it would be wrong to test, but the OP mentioned he tested negative already (although don't know when/how), and there's really not a lot there to point to parasites as a primary issue.

and it would be a lousy vet if one did say that. we don't consider old age a disease. however, there are many diseases that become more common and/or aggressive with old age. would it be worth it to you if they ran bloodwork, identified an issue, and it wound up potentially treatable or could...

yeah, it's all good. wifi/night vision/HD/very iOS friendly.

2 new things to add to this thread-- -i finally found a fantastic thermometer ($30 at Sam's Club) w/ built in alarms!! the commercial devices are pricey, and although there's a bazillion types of those Accurite thermometers i never found one w/ alarms. this one lets you set high temp or low...

plenty of threads here cover it well, along w/ a quick google search. it doesn't need to be rehashed, you will find the info.

gout has a long-term treatment plan which you are already doing. i personally cannot add anything to what has been done other than continue to treat, continue supportive care, and he may pull through. unfortunately, most do not. we would all love to see him be an exception!

tino, i'm going to post the radiographs here so that others who may be interested can take a look. any problem w/ that, let me know and i'll take them down. o- 4 shots, the first 2 were the originals (which look very pixelated for some reason), and the second pair are the post-processed...

need to know his weight to calculate. a normally hydrated reptile typically drinks between 1-3% of their body weight in water daily, if they're dehydrated or need extra fluids that needs to be taken into consideration as well. e.g.-a healthy 150g panther needs approx. 2-3 cc's daily (= to ½...
