My uro died

herperboy Jan 14, 2004 09:18 AM

I woke up this morning to find my little girl mali dead.
Monday afternoon she didn't look goo so I took her to the vet. He said she was dehydrated and gave her some fliud injections. She seemmed to be getting better but she was wobbly on her feet and not very active. My best guess to the cause of death is either liver or kidney failure. I can't help but feel that it is my fault. It wasn't the vets falut, he is a very good reptile vet, and he told me she migth die from that.

May she rest in peace.

Again, I'm really sorry. It's so hard to lose a uro. Take care and don't blame yourself. She may have died for another reason. A necropsy is the only way to know.

I'd call around to a couple of reptile vets in your area and ask. It can vary anywhere from $50 on up. Please let us know the results if you get a necropsy done. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I wish you the best of luck.
