Default Female Mossy died


No clue why she died. I plan on getting a necropsy done tomorrow. My vet is not too familiar with Uroplatus, does anybody have any input that I should tell my vet to look for?

Thanks

to be truthful, uroplatus are notorious for the sudden death syndrome. you are definitely not the first to lose one via that.

I dropped her off for a necropsy anyway, just to see if he can find anything wrong.

My U.liniatus male died a couple of months ago and I went to one of the most well-known vets here in Sweden for a autopsy and then the samples where sent to Michael M Garner, at Northwest ZooPath (US) for analys. The answer was that the main reason for his death was to fat food, or to be correct I had been given the cricket to fat food to eat and had feed the Uro to much. Evidently one of the most common reason for gecko death...

If anyone are interested in the analys answers I can email them to you.
