Looking for iguana blood donors

girlzilla Nov 09, 2011 01:13 PM

Hello, it's been forever since I've posted on here! Glad to see it's still active.

My iguana, Bud, is now 9 years old. After many years of good health, he is having some health issues recently and so we're looking for iguanas in the Philadelphia, PA area that might be able to donate blood to help Bud get better.

He's being treated at the U. Penn. Matthew J. Ryan small animal hospital, and they're using their contacts to try to find some donors, but I thought I would put the word out, as well. My husband and I are giving donations to the charity of the donor's choice if they are a successful match.

E-mail me at erin.kras@gmail.com if you think your iguana might be able to donate blood.

Best-
Erin

Here he is this morning, sitting on the couch under heat/lights. He's not feeling his best, so no happy colors, and he's quite sleepy. But still the king of the house!

Did you ever find donors? I know there were people on other loops who talked about contacting you.
