Delilah & Peanut went to the Vet

Delilah's tail was looking rather odd and Peanut's upper arm was swelling up, so off to the vet we went. 

Delilah was NOT happy to be held. Or touched. Or looked at. 

She was only fine when she was down. I was trying to flick off a little piece of fluff on her incision and the whole end came off! 

Dr Folland said it looks fine and I'll keep it washed and cleaned until it heals. 

Peanut has a thickened bone because at some point his upper arm broke. :( On his other arm, his elbow broke and healed in a twisted way which is why he walks on his wrists. 

His bones are still pretty soft due to the MBD. Hopefully by the end of the year, he will have recovered from the MBD. He will most likely always walk on his wrists and have a smaller than normal size, but the rest of his life will be ok. 

When I got Peanut, he wasn't even strong enough to lift his body up and walk. He's made a lot of progress in just a month. 

Update on Mooshy, Dory, Delilah, and Peanut

All 4 of these beardies are doing great! 

Dory still has her stitches in and will for another 2 weeks. She actually can see better out of her swollen eye now even though she'll always have swelling. She adores her blankies and snuggling at night. 

Peanut is a PIG!! He still walks on his wrists but he's getting better at chewing solids with his jaw and his bones are getting stronger. He eats better and is more active now that he's alone in the tank (LilBit went to his new home on Monday). 

Delilah is perfectly fine and very temperamental. Some days, she's mellow and kind and other days (like today), she didn't want to be held and bit my finger when I wouldn't put her down. She's got a ton of personality and is ready to be adopted out as soon as I finds good home. 

Mooshy has finally started becoming active! This morning he was scratching at his tank so he could get out. He is eating more (he used to only be able to eat one superworm before he was too tired to continue) and putting on weight. I suspect he has some neurological issues going on because his aim is bad. He has a hard time catching insects because he misses them by a quarter to a half inch. 

Mooshy is getting sun therapy today! 

Except when he wants to go exploring which is a new thing for him. 

Snuggle Time

Tonight I have FOUR beardies wrapped in blankies and sleeping on my chest: Milo, Delilah, Dory, and Mooshy. Best part of the night. :) 

Updates on All 6 Sicklies

Mooshy ate a worm yesterday on all his own! He is very sluggish and doesn't move much. He has put on weight thankfully. He loves to snuggle at night. 

Dory is doing great after her surgery. She's out of her sick tank and in a regular 40. I'll feed her later today and see how she does. 

Peanut is eating on his own! He is more active but still walks on his wrists. He's such a pretty beardie. 

LilBit has SO much personality! He's doing the best. He's energetic and active all day. He eats like a horse! 

Saphira aka "Bean" doesn't move much and doesn't like to eat on his own. He has a vet appointment next week. 

Delilah is doing great. She is learning how to snuggle and be held. It's obvious she wasn't held much before. I think she'll quickly become a sweet & friendly beardie. 

Delilah, rescue 102

Delilah was given away because the owners couldn't afford to take her to the vet to get her tail fixed. 

We were able to remove a lot of dead tissue ourselves, but the stump was too infected and uneven. 

At the vet, I got the rest of it off. 

Dr Folland scraped out the pus and trimmed away extra dead tissue before stitching it up. 

She was NOT happy!!! 

But her tail looks great and nothing else has to be done. 

She spent the day in a brooder while we waited for Dory. 

She's now at my house in a tank-- still trying to figure out how she got here. She's not super friendly but we'll get her there.
