Update on my Squirt lizard

star Jan 18, 2006 04:59 PM

SO today I was able to get home early, and I just fed her and gave her a bit more electrolyte water stuff. She ate a cricket, and was pretty fiesty about it. Then I gave her some of that water stuff from a dropper. She wasn't really thirsty like last night, but she drank a tiny bit of it. Now she's where I put her back, sunning on her rock. I found her in the cooler portion of her cage when I got home, sluggish but awake.

I personally think she's looking better. I'll have to keep a really close eye on her. Two crickets in two days, though, WOO-HOO!

Any more advice will certainly be appreciated! Thanks to everyone who has helped me so far! And Squirt and Taco thank you too!

I'm really happy to hear that she's eating. Hungry pets are a goooood thing--as Eve can attest!

Usually she's a real porker, but now she's pretty skinny. She looked more dried out than anything, but after I got her to drink some of that electrolyte stuff, she looked better. She's still a bit skinny, though.

We'll keep feeding her and hope she gains weight!

Well if she eats and still does not gain her PORK back, I agree with Elan, I would treat her for parisites.

Hope she PERKS up for ya! keep us updated
