    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Sheila Topp/Shelialovesanimals BAD! BAD! VERY BAD!

That is just too bad, Aprylla. I'm so sorry. I was hoping he'd live to a ripe old age. At least the little guy had you to help him through his last days. :bawling: :bawling::bawling: :bawling::bawling: :bawling::bawling:
 
That's so sad. :bawling: You did an awesome job with Riley and put all your heart into helping him heal. I'm so sorry you lost your sweet friend; it's never easy.
 
Aprylla, You did a wonderful thing. Do not forget you were not responsible for his condition and you worked very hard to keep him alive. Keep up the good work. My condolences.

We need more people like you here.
 
Aprylla

I am so sorry you lost him, this is such a terrible devastating fungus. Even when diagnosed by researchers or vets early on, the outcome is usually not very good. To my knowledge only a few have survived and been cleared of it and those have much scaring. None of the traditional oral antifunguals seem to work for long and it seems to come back with such a rapid vengence. No one even specializing in this could or have done better than you did.

At least he had someone that cared in the end.
 
Aprylla, I am very very sorry for your loss. You did a good thing trying to save this animal and I salute you for your efforts.

You Rock! Don't let anyone ever tell you any different.

SHEILA TOPP IS EVIL!!

Someone directed me to this site and I cannot believe this! This woman is STILL looney! She is still selling sick animals and hoarded them! She called me MANY horrible names! I had to change my phone number because she was calling my home a harassing me! I merely let her know the animal I purchase was sick and she went off on me!!! She is crazy!!!!!!
 
What you are describing are abcesses. The waxy stuff is pus, reptiles don't have liquid pus, they have "cheesy"pus. I would debride (clean out all the dead material(pus)) flush with betadine solution and water (weak tea solution) dry it with a gauze pad and put on PrepH, which is a great debriding agent, pain reliver, itch reliver. If you want to add a bit of neosporin in the prep H to add in antibiotic help. I would not bandage, this wound needs to breathe. Keep her instead on papertowels, blank butcher paper or old newsprint. I am surprised that the vet didn't give her ICe (intracoeloemic) fluids. I am sure after all she been through, she has a dehydration problem. If you don't believe me, at least, bring this up to your vet. Good luck. MaryAnn

This thread is 6 years old and the animal died.
 
Omg this all this over an incident over possibly someone not understanding the pay pal shipping procedures... I have met Shelia Topp personally and I truly do not think she is the animal murdering crazy lady everyone is making her out to be. Be nice. Mean people suck!
 
Just read through this entire thread today, and here's something with a little more information about her arrest.

http://www.claytodayonline.com/stories/police-briefs-71317,7710

State officers charge woman with forging veterinary documents, more

"KEYSTONE HEIGHTS – The Clay County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Keystone Heights woman who has been wanted since October 2016 for allegedly forging veterinary documents used in the sale of pets.
Police arrested Sheila Kay Topp, 51, on July 11 at 4 p.m. where she turned herself in to the CCSO at its Green Cove Springs headquarters. She faces two counts of presenting forged official certificates, three counts of criminal use of personal identification, two counts of transfer ownership of animal without official certification or veterinarian inspection.
The investigation began October 25, 2016 when an officer with the state Office of Agricultural Law Enforcement contacted a law enforcement officer for the state Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services regarding what officers believed to be a fraudulent health certificate issued from Baldwin Animal Clinic in Baldwin, Fla. west of Jacksonville.
During the investigation, the clinic’s owner, Robert Engle, told investigators that he did not issue to the fraudulent certificate nor given anyone else permission to use the certificate or his veterinarian license number.
On November 9, 2016, investigators were led to Topp’s home in Keystone Heights to “obtain a statement and review documents pertaining to the sale of dogs,” states the arrest warrant. However, when police approached the home, no one answered the door, but heard dogs barking from inside an air-conditioned garage. Investigators left Topp a voice mail asking her to call them back.
When she finally did call the officers back, investigators stated, “I received multiple telephone calls from a woman who identified herself as the defendant. She was very irate, harassing and refused to cooperate in any way.”
After booking in the Clay County Jail, Topp was released on $35,015 bond. "


I'd like to point out the quote from the investigators at the end of the article. I saw several people pop in during the early part of the thread, ten years ago, and say that they've met this woman in person, and she didn't behave nastily at all, so they just couldn't believe she'd send harassing emails. Apparently, by now she feels very comfortable in behaving this way over the telephone to officers of the law who are investigating her for criminal activities. Not so far-fetched anymore, is it?
