Gary Dean at the Vet

Today was Gary's follow up appointment. He hasn't gained any weight but he is a lot more active. 


He got another Calcitonin shot to help solidify his bones. And he had fun meeting everyone. :) 


His spine is starting to curve too and he'll most likely have deformities for the rest of his life. :( He'll be like a Savannah monitor version of Sancho the iguana.

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.

Sun time Treatment

I love my vet! If you read my blog at all, you know this is true! His favorite advice to me has always been to give my sick reptiles direct sunshine time. Best & cheapest treatment available.

Windows filter out UVB so your beardies can get light and heat, but no essential UVB. UVB helps them metabolize calcium and feel better. Plus it makes their colors brighter.
