He's the one with an eye infection and acting lethargic.
So the vet asked me like if I dusted my crickets, gutloaded, etc etc I said yes. He basically went over everything basic I already knew. He asked what I fed and I told him crickets and waxworms, and he said its not enough and I should feed him greens. He said they need the calcium that the greens have. Now I thought it was OK if the collareds did not eat greens, and that many do not? Was I wrong? Should I get greens now? He said he didn't get collareds in as often as other lizards, so I didn't know really if he knew what he was talking about. He has a bearded dragon and an iguana, so maybe thats why he figures everything has to eat greens?
He told me about mites and how the black spots on him aren't mites because they aren't moving, they are just his normal spots...
I didn't want to interrupt him and tell him I work at a petstore and know all these things already so I just let him talk.
So when we got down to the exam, he said to clean the eye out with a damp cotton ball or qtip and apply some of the antibiotic. The other eye started getting some discharge as well but he said I should just keep it clean and shouldnt over medicate.
When asked about him not being active, he said adjusting the diet should help. The things that were stuck to his anus, which I thought were dried up fecal matter, he said was not fecal matter but was a part of him, I forget what he called them. He said it was prob a male, which I knew already. He said I shouldnt try to remove the 2 things near his anus. He said I needed to bring in a fecal sample to check for parasites and that one covered in sand wouldn't matter cuz he can clean the sand off. He didnt say he could get a sample from inside.
What about parazap? Should i Buy that to help?
So should I go back to him with a sample? Or find another vet? Should I go and buy greens?
He also said temps should be around 80-90 at night, upper 70's is ok at night, and should be 90-100 during the day. He didn't say anything about a basking site, so I'm assuming he means the overall temp.
Should I take a fecal to another vet? Or to him? Or should I wait til after the eye infection clears up, or if it clears up?
He really threw me off with saying I should be feeding more greens.
And he also said the eye infection wouldn't kill him if it got worse, but would make him weak. I read here that the eye infection could kill him.
Well I have him and his friend on paper towels right now while I build a rock wall for a new 20L.
and I agree I was always taught as a youngster who's Grandpop lost an eye due to infection from a wood chip that hit his eye, to...
