hi kevin, i'm happy to try and help, and i appreciate you beginning a thread before contacting me---here's some random thoughts-- -i would suggest a fecal sample sent to one of the national labs--they are more expensive, but generally far more accurate than what most vets can do in a typical...

really? is that what you're going to take from what we wrote? if so, i'm not going to try to change your mind, i speak in facts, not made-up thoughts. for others that may be more interested in anatomy and how the nervous system works; any lesion to the spinal cord (which runs through the...

one of the many reasons why i have moved to housecall practice for exotics; certainly helps to minimize some of the potentially devastating stress we may see in this field.

frankly saldarya, i'm neutral since i don't know and i don't have the information to make a final decision. however, that doesn't mean i have forgotten all that i know re: medical care of chams, or the difference between a highly-trained exotic vet and another that has no business touching a...

thank you, ferret!

Regarding the PM suggesting that I remove my post...i don’t believe in censorship, particularly when I haven’t made any accusations; rather I offered another, more likely scenario IME. If I have been misled or lied to by a colleague, I will be among the first to wave my pitchfork as well...

to be certain we're on the same page, it wasn't my case nor have i ever said if i may or may not have done something differently. but the short answer is, yes, of course! i tend to get bronchitis almost every winter; i am quite used to the protocol of getting my blood drawn and a chest xray at...

(slaps forehead) yeah, that probably wasn't the best move to post a CV after mentioning the name situation! i personally don't hide behind anonymity; my name/hospital name/etc. is in all of my posts. it was her concern that made me mention it; trying to abide CF rules. but posting CV's pretty...

This is going to be a bit of a long post, as there are several points that I need to address. First, my HUGE condolences to Jason for your loss. It is very obvious to anyone who has either followed your thread from the beginning (or is just catching up) what this shipment has meant to you for...

sweet! good news! should be a non-issue very quickly.

the first time i ever fed BB's to my chams, i was stunned by how much it "woke up" the chams and i've never seen tongues shoot faster or longer with any other prey. with roaches/supers/butters/wax/etc., i guess my chams have learned that they can generally take their time w/ slow-moving prey...

using the BOI incorrectly from it's stated purpose certainly doesn't make it useless. it's directions are extremely clear: either use it to search for a name to see if it's in the database, OR begin a thread supplying ALL FACTS supporting your claim, names, addresses, reposting email/PM...

it's more than that--you have a keen eye for the angles and lighting composing your shots, particularly difficult with an unpredictably moving subject!! i'm sure 20 shots go in the can for every keeper, but that's normal. my grandparents were both photographers and my dad took over the business...

however, i am thrilled with your success with Monty!! the site looks fantastic, and i suspect you will only get good news from the pathology report. if it helps you through this any easier, it's gross appearance is not that of a metastatic cancer, so get those thoughts out of your head if...

of course not lilly, you know i love you!! it's another thread that has gone wildly anti-vet by a supposed former vet, i moved from there to here, and a comment here made me "exuberantly respond". nothing at all to even do with you and Monty, thus the erasure. sorry!:o

dumb rant 2

I'm erasing an untoward rant that wasn't necessary. Misplaced emotional spillover after just leaving another similar thread regarding the point I was making. .

great result---let us know what the pathology report says, please.

ferret!! i was just complimented yesterday on my bedside manner. now you make me look like poop! :p

i'm not offended, rather i'm amused. so you are ready to interpret blood panels, xrays, ultrasonography, see what cells are on the slide on an aspirate? pick the proper meds out of the thousands listed in Plumb's, dose correctly and avoid any drug interactions? i'm impressed! it took me many...
