Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Notice the "just started" CGD. I'd bet on a calcium related issue.

Just did a fecal smear, found some protzoa. My guess is Entamoeba invadens. Getting some Flagyl this morning. I will keep you posted. I don't think it is calcium related. We have always kept a dab of calcium in his cage in case he feels like he needs it.

So sorry to hear it, but I'm really glad you're getting to the bottom of what's going on. Best of luck to both of you!

He died last night. Started pooping and puking blood. I think we caught it too late. I am going to perform an "autopsy" to take a look at the organs. If it is what I think it is, the liver and intestines should be ulcerated.

Maybe 3 days ago? It was really quick. He started looking less fat in the stomach area, but never skinny really. Then he started being lethargic, then he died.
