No ones helping...PLEASE

[Jods]

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 so sorry, I don't know much about iguanas. Maybe search on google for help? You will definitly be in my prayers and thoughts.

Love always,

I'm so sorry for you and for Rex. I wish you had a vet close by that could give you some help and support. I think a few people here do have experience with Iggys and hopefully one of them will respond. But know that I will be keeping you and Rex in my thoughts and prayers. It's the hardest thing to see our beloved "kids" ill And I'm sure his life with you were the happiest years of his life. Gentle hugs to you Rex. Love, Sandra

I asked my husband (we have an iguana, but he know a lot more about them then I do) and he didn't know how to help. I'm sorry.

See this page: http://www.herpvetconnection.com/

There is a links for iguana vets for each US state, and Canadian province - perhaps you can find someone to at least do a phone consultation!

Oh Jods...I'm so sorry to hear about Rex! I hope you can get someone to help over the phone tomorrow, if only to help keep him comfortable. Lifting prayers and sending {{{hugs}}} for you and Rex.

I have some excellent links for iggys, but AOL is being horrid again tonight. It sounds to me like your guy has a blockage somewhere in his stomach, or intestines. Have you tried putting him into the bathtub in warm (not hot) water? Has he been pooping? Often they feel better after a good poop etc, in the tub. I hope you can find a local vet who can treat him fast. Keep us posted..my big girl Carmen sends her prayers for his recovery (me too) Jan

He has a bath everymorning in the tub. Gonna ask my mom if hes went to the bathroom though. The only thing I don't understand about it is his face is so sunken in... I went on a bunch of sights and it says to force feed him, but he gets so stressed when we go near I don't want to make it worse. He's never been exaclty friendly so I don't wanna upset him in this state. I guess I'll call the vet tomorrow and see what they say. I gave him his fav food and he didn't eat it either SIGH I hate this!
