Sick concinnus babies... and sexing...

[KITKAT]

So far so good... I used a diabetic insulin syringe and put the TINIEST drop of frontline on them possible. I do not have access to the spray, so am using the TOP SPOT, which is not what was indicated in the stuff I was reading online, so one might say I decided to experiment.

Both babies are still fine... no CNS symptoms, no sign of the top spot having bothered them.

I also used top spot on my male bearded dragon, to no ill effect, and plan to tx the female tonight.

I have not checked the ordinoides yet, but do have to say that before they left quarantine I had bathed them and found nothing... but may frontline them as well, since it seems to be going OK in terms of not bothering them.

Now I will have to wait until after the holiday before I have time to check again for mites and see what we achieved.

Now I will treat with flagyl and in a week I will post results...

Both of the babie look much better KitKat. I'm sure that under your care they will be fine.

Lost one over New Year's holiday. I was gone from Dec 30 in the morning til Jan 1st in the evening... when I came home, one of them was dead.

I did give flagyl, but think it was too little, too late, for the one baby.

I will still post new pics of the survivor in a few days.

I was just wondering how they were doing earlier today. I suspect that you've already raised the temperature to the upper 80s to give their immune system a boost, haven't you? I'm pulling for that other little dude. Best,

P.S. I hope their feces looks good. Mine had watery feces with nematodes, and three weeks of treatment with Panacur (Fenbendazole) took care of it.

Sorry to hear that you lost one of your little T.s.concinnus

[Thamnophis]

Bad news!
Hope the other one does better.

[KITKAT]

Well... thanks for the good wishes and the various advice... but I lost the second one yesterday.

I was thinking he was getting better, as he looked better and was eating very well... I'm sad.

At least my T ordinoides are still doing well!

Really sorry to hear that. I guess the damage was already done.
