Thank you very much for rereading my care sheet. About an hour ago I improved the feeding section. You may want to take another peek. There is much info there . Slate tile will really help with belly heat! What size is your tank?

I hope that by boosting both the belly heat temperature right on the slate as well as the air temperature to the 92-95 F range that your leo's appetite will improve.

Good that you also have a vet app tomorrow evening. Please update after you have seen the vet.

Thanks, I will go back and read again but this Mom is going crossed eyed! LOL

Vet appt. went well. I was very impressed with the vet and (patting myself on the back) she was impressed with how much I knew about Leos also. Years ago when we owned iguanas there where no good reptile vets in this town.

A few pin worms which are common she said and they found one egg in his stool sample however there was an abnormal amount of white blood cells in his urate so we are treating that first, he got a shot of Doxycyclin-ratiopharm 20 mg/ml. I will take him back on the 8th for a reweigh and another stool sample check.

He did eat one cricket last night, who knows about tonight because he is not to happy! Oh, and vet did confirm HE is a SHE but I can't get used to saying that!

We only have 10g for him, I know that is not the perfect thing now, but we will upgrade he is still tiny. But before I upgrade I will have at lease 6 months of reading under my belt instead of 3. Egads the amount of info to sift thru is overwhelming!

I promise I will get this down pat perfect if it kills me! Thanks for all your advice and your care sheets.

You are doing a great job digesting all this leo info. I am glad that you took HER to the vet's. Hope her white count improves and that she continues eating.

It is the folks who do not ask that I worry about.
