beardy sleeping on here back

[Isis]

If it were mine Id take the trip to the herp vet.......but thats just me.
I'l shut up now as I dont want to get flamed for being against cruelty.

 

[bylo]

she is of to the vet monday morning

 

[asis]

How did the vet go?

 

[bunnykin]

sorry to say mate but its not a good sign. Please let us know how shes going.

 

[bylo]

once again the vet wasn't the help I expected.she said worm baths might help.
she also said she isn't in any direct pain but in some discomfort and couldn't advise me on a type of laxative .
that's why I am open for advice (please no more vet advice as they cant help me up here in the mtns)

 

[bunnykin]

ok is her pooh normal ? ie have urates ?

 

[bunnykin]

can you get onto the chat on here so i can go through some things? how is she doing now?

 

[bylo]

not sure how the chat works ,but would like some ideas on how to make here poop, she is still eating and in good wait but cant poop.
if I can get here to do that I think my battle will be 3 quarters beat.
please note she is not in pain but suffering discomfort and still rolling on here back

 

[bunnykin]

ok when last she pooped were there urates?
does she have her tail up at all ?

 

[Isis]

Was the vet you took her to a herp vet. If not get her to a herp vet asap.

 

[bunnykin]

how old is she how much and what does she eat?

 

[cans]

if you want into the chat just press the link at top near forum , galley links etc
cheers

 

[bylo]

I have spoken to 3 vets and they haven't herd a any reptile vets.
they also was concerned of here age which is a little over eight years, but I know she has more years in her if I can get here to poop.
some one must know some thing

 

[bunnykin]

[bylo]

yes there all farm vets,there good for cows and sheep .peter brennan is our vet for our other animals .verey good vet but only guesing with reptiles.
and the vets i have spoke to said to speek with other reptile keepers as they may be able to help.which i have done.
the vets said there must be some very experienced reptile keepers who should be able to help diagnose the problem and he can help me treat the problem

This morning she is on here feet which is a start and i am dosing here with some juice

yes but without seeing and more information its very hard even a reptile specialist wouldn't do it over the phone let alone on here. All I can tell you is 1 its very abnormal ( not quircky) and usually means they are very ill . She may not even be impacted she may be just closing down all the symptoms are of this but to actually say that as a diagnosis is cruel because 1 not vets 2 havent seen her.

Best thing you can do if you cant get her to anyone is sit with her massage her in a bath or if shes not one for handeling ( sometimes it stresses them more) just put her on her rock and watch over her make sure you have a water dish in there.

she loves to be handled.
she is a great patent
