Oh yeah! Zelda came in the shower with me yesterday and drank from my hand. I had her on the towel rack while I was showering and she climbed and reached for me. I rinsed all soap off of me and held her in the palm of my hand so the drops bouncing off of me would mist her (I did not put her in...
I guess I added the "upper" part. My vet friend said "respiratory problems." We haven't given the Baytril yet as she seems to be getting better with just the shower steam treatments a few times a day. Also, I thought about the warm mist humidifier! I'm borrowing one from my sister in law right...
She did drink a little bit today but not as much as I would like. She hasn't been eating or drinking much at all. I keep misting and trying to get a few drops here and there on her crest so it drips down to her mouth with an oral syringe but she's not getting much. That and the fact that she...
Zelda continues to improve today! She LOVES her Steam Treatments and is pretty active in her terrarium after them. She still hasn't eaten anything (that I've seen) but does seem mildly interested when offered super worms or crickets out of a tube.
During her latest Steam Treatment
Right after
Zelda definitely perked up during the steam treatment but hasn't eaten since Wednesday when she had 3 crickets(dusted with calcium no D3) and 2 medium superworms (hand fed).
...is hopefully solved!
When we woke up this morning, Zelda's coloring was much better! She was still a bit "mopey" and looks skinny but SEEMS better.
We saw my friend who is a vet this morning and she said URI and MBD. We are already doing what we need to for the MBD (which was my original...
Okay. Need help NOW. Zelda is NOT herself at all today. She is dark colored, hiding, and keeping her eyes closed. My husband thinks she's acting like she does right before a shed but she just shed not too long ago. That would be all I need is her to have me freaking out over a shed as If she...
Just to get this straight, since I have the same things and the same question, if I feed free range crickets weekly my schedule should be:
Week 1- Phos-Free Calcium & Calcium w/ D3
Week 2- Phos-Free Calcium & Multi Vitamins
Then keep repeating?
Zelda has definitely perked up today! Much happier than the past week or so. She's holding her head up (not army crawling anymore) and enjoying "sunbathing."
This morning I got to see her "angry colors" for the first time ever (I've had her for 3+ months) when I accidentally caught her tail...
I actually just got home from the store and got Flukers liquid calcium drops. I was able to get a few drops in her mouth. I also got a higher wattage basking bulb which raised the temp immediately. I had noticed that she was shooting and missing crickets earlier today so I hand fed some that she...
I do dust the crickets as well, but through this thread found out that my schedule is a little off which I will correct from here on!
Zelda is still "army crawling" along her branches and seems to be a bit lethargic.
I've increased her temp to about 75-80° but it doesn't seem to be...
When I GENTLY examined the Arm it felt soft, not hard. My husband is a vet tech but they don't really deal with reptiles at his practice.
Zelda seems to be getting better day by day and with the extremely fast onset of this swelling(?) (within 3-4 days) is leading me to think that it is not...
