Rex is ill

I'm pretty sure my iguana is dying. Hes been really sick latley, hes not eating drinking or anything and hasn't been for a few days. There is no vet around here that helps lizards... I feel really bad. I'm just hoping that if it is his time his last few years with us were happy. He's had a lot of abuse in his past. I just went to sit with him for a bit his face is all suken in and he is cowering when your get close. He never has done that before. I know this sounds bad, but if he is going to the bridge I hope its soon, I hate to see him suffering. Please keep him in your prayers.... :(

I just gave him some water he drank it!! Well I though this was good news then all of a sudden the water all came back up and was puring out of his mouth... CAN ANYONE HELP???

I'm sorry. I can only offer prayers for him.

How old is your iguana? Is a girls or a boy? Have you seen any external change in his/her body? Do you suplement him/her with reptical or other supplements? What do you feed him/her? Do you keep his cage warm enough? Do you keep humidity high enough? Does he/her a proper UVB lights? . A lot of questions I know, but if we don't konw in what conditions is keep is hard to help.
Iguanas have a lot of problems like , mites,parasites, Metabolic bones desease, kidneis felure, ect....

This is a great group on Yahoo, the IGUANA MAILING LIST, that is a great supportative group. Maybe it would be a good think if you joing them a seek for advice.

You can post here or PM if you prefer , I'm really worried !!! :( I own an iguana myself , so far we were doing great.Now she is full of eggs, you can see from the x-rays she has between 25/30 eggs in her tummy and I'm freaking out that all goes well.

How is Rex doing?

Thinking of you Rex. Hope your Mom checks in with us soon. Lots of heartfelt prayers continue for your swift recovery, dear Rex.
