Dexter hanging in there

jakeleolizard Mar 01, 2005 11:56 AM

Hey all,

Just thought I would give an update quick since I haven't been able to get on lately... Dexter is hanging in there... I haven't seen changes for the worse... he hasn't really improved much at all either... but I did see some glimses on Sat and last night. I keep on doing what the Dr. ordered... giving him lots of fluids... his meds... and intermittent feeding with a special antacid. Nice thing about the antacid is that he hasn't been burping either... still farts on occasion though when I am feeding him...

I put him back in his original tank... 20L 18" high... versus the 20L 24" (40gal?) tank... he doesn't hop around like he used to and put him back on flourescent UVB (Repti 8.0) per vet... so no more MV for now...

Thanks for caring!

JIM
