very good point
thanks neil , very good point, i didnt even think about that, in the early summer all in a box,heat, time, travel, that could be it? i dont know, it makes great sense . As far as the uri , the diagnosis was slim to none, my usual vet Richard Bink is very well studied in herpetology, he used to head the columbia reptile zoo, he was out and his compatriot dr. gross relativlty well versed in exotics basically gave me a "try this serum", i honestly dont even know what it was, it was to be given orally once a day, we never got that far, as for a fecal we had none to pull, they were "dry", we also felt at that time the animals were so young, so small and in such bad shape that hydration was by far the most important factor, they all died in 24 hours or so of this so unless autopsy/necropsy was worthwhile was almost mute as it would 10fold the value of 4 -30 dollar veileds, we couldnt do blood, size and stress were issue, i suppose a swab would have been useful but it was a first with these types and didnt quite understand how quickly they could go down, the eyes sealed shut, and severely sunken helmet are a for sure sign of dehydration, the vet stated that immediately, all of this is memeory based, i cant produce evidense other than the facts stated, i wish back then id have been more agressive, i just want as much info as i can get as i take this hobby very seriously, i love these animals, and cant have enough of them, everybook, forum, thread, addict? thanks again neil for the last post , i do appriciate it, damien
