Vet said normal for a plump dragon. I thought she was a little plump but pretty normal for a well kept dragon. He says what he considers a "normal" dragon I would consider skinny. As what he sees is obviously not in the same health as mine. Unfortunate but true. Alot of vets and people that deal with dragons with medical issues see mostly the bottom of the barrel. I was joking with my vet when I brought her in that all I bring him now is dead animals and poop. In a way I guess that means I have improved my care, but also bad as I have had a few dead dragons. You know what just popped into my head while I was showering (after a night out with the people from the lab) that maybe this dragon aspirated meds from treatment for coccidia. Pulmonary edema (inhaling the meds = fluid in the lungs) this could have been the cause of the RI. I really didn't see any signs that she was sick at all. If I had I would have brought her to the vet asap. I have no problem dropping money on the vet. He is a good guy gives me a good deal and amuses me all at once. Now I kick myself in the butt believing that the meds I administered for Coccidia may have been the issue? Guess I will never know the answer to that one. Who says people don't admit to their screw ups? I feel I do.
