After searching the archives I could never really find an answer to
this question......
I got several leos in January or Feb (can't remember now)....they
were almost frozen when they arrived. They were shipped in a
non insulated box.
Anyway....out of five....four are still alive. Of those, two are healthy
now, one is healthy but blind and one is STILL dying. It appears
to be blind and does not eat, has not eaten since it has arrived.
Anyway......there is a huge black spot on the stomach. I saw another
dying leo recently that had the same thing. Is the black spot just
an organ that you can see because they are soo thin or is the black
spot one of the reasons it is dying?
NO need to tell me to take it to a vet. I did, I WORK at a vet
clinic. We can't force feed her because she goes into spasms just
from being touched.
I am about ready to have to put the dying one to sleep. I think
if i was going to be able to turn her around, I would have been
able to by now. SHe is just getting weaker.
Anyway...unless someone knows the answer to the question about the
black spot then I am going to ask the vet to do a necropsy to SEE
what it is when we euthanize her.
Thanks
Nina
