I attempted this last year at the same advice (see previous post) <http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/AdvancedIguanaCare/message/4123> but couldn't get the...
If you're within driving distance of UC Davis, a second opinion from them would be a good idea. They have a lab and everything else onsite so there would be...
Have you or your vet been able to study around his windpipe? My 7 yr. old iggy had a longhuman hair wrapped around his windpipe and the vet removed it and...
The vet called this afternoon and said Crock'Rs fecal tested positive high for E-Coli. Tomorrow we begin twice-a-day for three days treatment with gentamycin....
Gentamycin is highly toxic to kidneys. I don't know any vets that still use it. Unless it's the only treatment for E. coli, it should be discontinued right...
I received the following message privately this morning. Apparently the person didn't feel comfortable posting to the AIC list or didn't know how to do it. ...
Even the CDC is advising to not give anti-biotics for e.coli anymore. If the bacteria was just in the gut and the animal shows no signs of disease,then there...
Thank you - I don't know how many would consider San Diego driving distance to Davis, but I've done it (from Stockton originally) I'll call and see if I can...
Good grief! How about trying to contact the San Diego Herpetological Society or the curator of reptiles at the San Diego Zoo for a referral to a local reptile...
I forgot that there is a fledgling UC School of Vet Med in Southern CA but I don't know whether they see reptiles. Here's some contact info that I copied: ...
There is the Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital in San Diego 619-260 1412 Give them a call! If not,I know some excellent vets here in L.A.and Orange County. ...
I'm posting this for Falkor's owner. Falkor is the iguana who had swollen eyes. The vet took multiple X-rays to check for bone abnormalities around the eyes,...
IMO, any iguana that is in the early stages of recovering from MBD or shows signs of problems with climbing or back issues should live in a flat cage with only...
My little Tiny Tim was a rescue with similar problems:no UV,lettuce and green beans for food and the result:multiple fractures.His eyes are larger than they...
Hi, this is Adam, Falkor's owner. I just want to give more details on Falkor with his climbing issues. He climbs up pretty well, it's like his daily routine to...
Hi Adam, Right now I am fostering a very elderly male iguana whose right eye was already missing when he came to the biology lab of our state university about...
Falkor seems to be doing pretty good for his condition. He's a little slow on learning to judge distance and whatnot. I'm hoping for as close to a full...
That's what we're hoping will work for Falkor. The odd ball part about his case is that the swelling changes throughout the day. When he wakes up, the swelling...
Tiny Tim has grown quite a bit and his eyes are getting more proportional for his head.He did not have such problems.My guess is that Falkor's eyes are too...
I set up a Facebook profile where I can post my pictures, videos and events and I want to add you as a friend so you can see it. First, you need to join...
I once had an iguana who had a tail amputated, and the vet had told me that certain medicines inhibit the growth of new tissue. I was trying to advise others...
The key element in whether or not an amputated tail regrows is whether or not the vet sutures the end of the tail closed. If it is sutured, it can't regrow....
Okay, what if an iguana loses a "dead part" of their tail, looks like it may have been stepped on or something previously? This is the case with my ig, he came...
I believe the tail will not regrow again.Or if,only a little bit.No medicaments can help the prosess.And if the "accident" have happend a long time ago,just...
My 8-9 yr old foster female green iguana has had intermittent, chronic runny/smelly poop for a couple of years with an unknown cause. After several fecal...
Correction! The dr prescribed Baytril tablets (22.7 mg); 1x per day for 5 days, and then once every other day for 10 more PILLS (not days). Treatment will be...
