Been a long long road...

Rcik, I am so happy for you and Aurora. It still amazes me that neither one of you gave up. Kudos to you my friend!

I too am glad I didn't, but Aurora was the amazing one. I would so be hating myself right about now if I had put her down.
Learned a couple things too. That's always good. Just wish it coulda been with a different animal.

Anyway, ain't it COOOL! Feels better than any drug could possibly feel. ITY

Long story short, she developed an abscess from an unknown source. It was removed, and healed, and then just came back with a vengeance a few months later. My vet was in and out of town continuing his education, so I went to a non herp vet this time, and he treated her like he would a mammal. It made things much worse, causing Cellulitis to kick into all the surrounding tissues, internal necrosis, and prolonging the needed surgery.

So over the next 1/2 year or so, My vet still being in and out of town, instructing me via E-mail and tele, we managed to get things under control. On 5-24-07, My vet and the exotics vet from the Zoo met me at the emergency center, and we performed the surgery to remove this thing. And here we are now.

The moral is....Take the time to find a qualified herp vet, and don't cry about the price. A non herp vet could end up costing you a lot more in the long run, or even your herp.


Thanks Cat! Means a lot. I'm just glad the hectic part is done with and we are returning to normal. Maybe I can return to my normal self now. LOL

Rick, I have been out of the loop for several weeks. I am so glad that your girl is
doing so incredibly well. I am glad that you two did not give up.
She is an awesome girl.

Thanks Ginger! I think you can tell I am way happy about it.
She's feeling good too. She wants out all the time now just like her old self. She rubbed a knot on her nose from trying to slide the glass open too. So she gets her way and comes out a lot.

Thanks again everyone!
Rick
