Spyro puked up white foam!

[cricket4u]

True, it was a bit much, but I think there was a tiny amount though, I may be wrong.
Yes I do provide an UTH, always have.
I placed the viv away from the window because it was advised to me to keep her more in dark because of her Enigma traits? she's been a lot calmer since anyway.
and I'll get zoo med right away, i think i got confused with the labels of the ones I use now
I managed to get a vet appointment tomorrow at a different vet, they're better as well.
They want to keep her in over night though? Is this usual procedure?

They haven't even examined her. What did you tell them over the phone and what was the reason behind keeping her?

 

[MushuSpyro]

They said if she needs hydrating, because she hasn't really been drinking.
I bathed her last night and managed to get her to drink two droplets.

I just told them all that's going on, and they asked if she's been drinking, and I said not really, so they said they may need to keep her in to hydrate her if she's dehydrated a lot.

just got back from the vets. Spyro has parasites, so she's been given anti-biotics for 14 days, and a re visit next week

Good to know this. Wonder what the parasite source was? Which antibiotic?

 

[MushuSpyro]

The vet thinks it may have originated from Cynder, passed on to Spyro by my hands :s
I did wash my hands though, but the vet said it's still possible.
Yeah, she has liquid anti-biotics 0.05 ml a day, for 14 days.
vets appointment next week for check up

How can they tell you she's dehydrated over the phone? You told Elizabeth.. Post#11

I've been making sure she's drinking water too

What parasites was she diagnosed with?

 

[MushuSpyro]

They said they might of had to take her in because I couldn't get Spyro to drink anymore.

Coccidia? I think it's called?

Perhaps you misunderstood. Coccidia is not treated with antibiotics. Anyway, hope your gecko gets better soon.

 

[MushuSpyro]

tbh i can't remember what the vet said, but I'll ask again wednesday..
I know it was a common parasite, I just can't remember :/ I'm sorry..

I hope she gets better soon too..
Well she poo'd last night, over me when I was giving her meds.

septrin paediatric susp is what she's been given btw.

How has Spryo been doing since you posted on June 27th?

 

[MushuSpyro]

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't replied lately.

Spyro has Pinworms btw.
She has lost a lot of weight, but is on the right medication now.

Thanks for updating . Good to hear that Spyro is now on the correct medication. Hopefully soon the pinworms will be history and she will beef up to a healthy weight.

 

[MushuSpyro]

She's off to the vets Tuesday to have her medication through a tube.. will she be awake for this?

Don't know. Will you be getting s lesson on how to medicate?

 

[MushuSpyro]

I don't think so, they said she'll have to return again 2 weeks later after the first tube medication.
I'll let you know how it goes Tuesday, and what they say

 

[MushuSpyro]

She was awake for the tubed medication, and apparently she was well behaved! lol
Have to return in 2 weeks for another tubed medication.
Spyro has improved already, she's poo'ing normally, although the poo is rather big, but solid.
She's also back to running around her viv, and eating a little more

 

[Elizabeth Freer]

Your update on Spyro is much appreciated . Go, Spyro, go :banana:

 

[MushuSpyro]

Hey guys!
Good news! After several tubed medications for Spyro's Pinworms, she is now clear.
The vet said it will take her a while to get back to normal though.
I've been giving her 3 wax worms a week, mealworms (she hasn't touched them though) and small hoppers.

She did try to throw up last night, but nothing came out. Poo's aren't completely normal, but are starting to improve drastically.
