Yeah he was at the wedding and he was on our wedding invitations (see attached). The collar was real (my wife's mother made it with comfortable padding so it wouldn't iritate him) and the flowers were real. We Photoshop'd the martini glass. Luigi really was very calm and seemed strangely happy to be doing the photo shoot. We thought he would get upset and were ready to stop quickly if he did but he never did. He's a real trooper!



Just got back from the Emergency vet. The hard mass was urate entangled in a stitch and when it was removed he poopy'd and his intestines sucked back up inside of him!



I told the vet about the contact number for the cham pro and he is very excited to consult with him so that is a good sign.



There was no parasites, no other apparent infection, and he seemed well hydrated. He did take in a large number of tiny meal worms accidently about 3 weeks ago which is what we think did it. Our small beardy (Sasha) likes meal worms and while moving them from container to Sasha's tank Luigi saw them and shot his tongue out and grabbed them all (his door was open).



Most of the time Luigi eats large mealworms, crickets, green giants, silkworms, and an occasional pheonix worm.



Everyhting seems ok now but we have to watch him and stay mainly on liqui diet and soft skin worms (silk worms, green giants, occasional wax worm) and give pedialyte.



Thanks to everyone who responded!



My wife and I thank you very very much!



Will keep you all posted and maybe put up normal pictures of Luigi later.



Thanks again!



Joe
