Hi Everyone-  I have a 7 yr old iguana- as healthy as can be (at least that is what I thought). On Monday I noticed his front arms did not move- they...
Everything was normal. His urates i think if you are talking about the white part- was white. He has not gone to the bathroom since Sunday. Unless he is...
It is possible that the kidneys are inflamed and swollen and so the passage of digesta through the intestines is blocked.It is also possible/likely that he has...
So no way out huh? It is so hard for me to take him in- the way he looks at me, just kills me. I dont know what to do. I dont want him to suffer- but the...
Give it a few days and watch him but my guess is,that he is in pain and feels miserable.Ask anybody who has kidney disease....There are ways to flush out the...
It's too bad you could not try and contact a real good specialist. We have a good herp vet locally but when she couldn't do anymore for our oldest Ig she...
Hi, I have read many posts noting that Antech Labs is not the best choice for lab work. My vet is willing to send to another lab. Would those of you who use...
I am the Iggy slave/owner of Gizmo. I am in babyiguanas and was recommended to come here also. The problem I seem to have is my Ig is not passing urates when...
My iguana has elevated kidney values (though not showing any external signs of kidney failure yet) and the vet's advice was to give him _more_ fluids, not...
Yes,that is right but in kidney failure you have to balance the input and output so just shoving fluids is not good.Once you see decreased urine output you...
If it were my iggy,I would definetely see a vet and check for infections and/or internal parasites and make sure to have the urine tested and bloodwork done. ...
Hi Terri-  Thanks for you advice. Xrays did not show any thing abnormal. I just thought in the past few days I've given him enough water & food for him...

... get about 2000 to 3000 lux but a meagray you get 12,000 to 18,000 lux.<< Jimmy, are these readings you have taken? Last time Frances posted readings of the...
My oldest Iguana, Iggy, age 6, had a calcium issue as well as a high white blood cell count. It was not from the kidneys. It was from an infection he had in...
Hi All - I wanted to give a quick (ha - sorry) ;) update. I have been watching Sid closely, and hydrating thoroughly during the course of his recent...
Susanne, I am very very interesting in going after this approach - where should I begin? (search goostie21 to get an idea of where I'm coming from) :) Thank...
I would replace the lost fluids asap with Pedialyte and watermelon.I found that collard greens make their stools firmer.The antibiotic have killed all his...
