Newt's "Grandpa"

See the similarity? ;)

Update on Finn

With all the trauma of Newt & Turbo, I've forgotten to post pics of Finn.

Remember Finn? The baby whose nose was bit off by another beardie? 

He (she?) is doing great! Still very skiddish, but he loves to be wrapped in a blankie and held at night. 

His nose looks great and has healed very nicely. His colors are incredible too! 

For now, he's staying here. He's been bounced so many times that it's made him really fearful of others. I want to let him relax and adjust to being in one place with the same owners. 

New Items coming on Etsy

Just a few teasers--- 

Super Hero capes

Grass skirts & flower leis--

Also spike collars, baby strollers, and flower tutus. :) 

Turbo at the Vet

Turbo got his gauze pack removed from his wound today.

I could tell it hurt! Poor buddy! Then the vet had to turn him upside down to drain it. 

There was still too much fluid coming out to stitch it up so the second hole is still open (his eye lid was stitched last week). Twice a day for the next week, I will flush and drain his wound. I also have to start force feeding him everyday because he's lost weight too. 

The pic below is how he wanted to stay for his appointment-- snuggled up in my hair asleep. 

We have a follow up visit in a week and perhaps then we'll be able to stitch the wound. The goal is to have the bleeding totally stopped do he doesn't develop another hematoma. 

Newt at the Vet

Newt got his second Calitonin shot today and the vet says he is looking better. He has lost weight even though he is eating on his own. So I'll be force feeding him once a day for a few weeks to get his weight back up. 

When he gets stressed, his little hand starts spazzing and he ends up grabbing his eye. 

When I hold his hand, he calms down. 

But when I needed my finger back, I decided to give him something else to hold. 

Guess Who Woke Up??

I came home to find Hermy up! She must be done with hibernating for the year. Yippee!!

Newt is eating on his own!

I came home from vacation to find that Newt's tongue control has improved and he is able to catch worms on his own!! 

Such a good sign! 

Snuggling with Turbo

Turbo & Newt

My two sickly boys are doing well under my awesome husband's care. :) Next week, Turbo will get his gauze removed and Newt will get another Calcitonin shot to help his bones absorb calcium better. 

Turbo Update

He's doing great and looking better now that the swelling is going down in his face. He still loves head scratches & neck rubs and loves to explore my room.
