trip to the new vet

ecb Sep 09, 2003 02:22 PM

and not only did they call to remind me (always a good idea, the blonde is REAL) but they asked for a stool spec, and apologised for asking last min, but if we could, it would be better.
She also said the Dr DID know what a MHD was
SHe also said he was looking forward to seeing another Ball python, because he has not seen any in quite a while, and he likes them
We shall see how it goes

BTW I am trying to keep this board busy, but not getting a lot of chatter for my inane ramblings

Sounds like you found a good vet. As for the chatter, I have been sooooooo..... busy that I haven't had much time to check in. We are in the process of moving our Antique store into a much larger area and it has been a real zoo.

Guy took a long look at each animal, and actually looked at the stool under the microscope and found nothing untoward
checked mouths, and entire body of each animal, and was quite pleased and surprized that we were only there for a checkup
Erowen had diarhea when we got back, but I think it was stress from being held so hard, and the trip in the car
he answered all my daughters questions, and seemed very pleased with her curiosity, and enthusiasm
he admitted he was not familiar with Mountain Dragons, but took me at my word that they did not have leg pores to determine gender
He agreed that she did not seem to need reptivite NEARLY as frequently as the first vet had said (The other vet said coat everything she eats in reptical one day, and reptivite the next)
she would be ODed so fast with the way she eats nightcrawlers ("oh make sure everything she eats is colored white, then you can get her to eat a quarter of a grape every few days in with her crickets" Not likely)
and he wrote out that they both looked GREAT, no overt problems, color was good, well hydrated, Erowen is in very early shed, and it came of easily, not like retained shed
Good visit, I like him a lot better than the first, and might even take the Parakeets to him if they need it

he said there is NOTHING WRONG with spoiling her
now spoiling mammals is not such a good thing (kids included)

I agree that he sounds a lot better than the first one. You never want to OD on Calcuim or vitamins. I use the Sticky Tongue Farms Mineral-I once a week and Micro Stick Calcium once a week. I like these two products because they seem to coat better and stick longer than the other brands. Seems to be alright with the animals and they look good.

I agree with him too, It's fine to spoil these guys for now!

Stress?
