An update on "Spot" the Leopard Gecko
Spot had her follow-up with the exotic animal specialist on Friday. I have had feedback about Dr Laurie Hess and everyone from vets to petstore owners just rave about her. I can understand why.
Dr Hess was quite impressed by how much better Spot was doing after only 9 days. I no longer have to swab out her mouth and her eyes are much better!
Weight remains at 38g.
Still require the intramuscular anti-biotics <my friend K has been doing that. God bless her. Imagine injecting into the muscle of a foreleg no wider than a drinking straw
> and I must continue the force-feeding. That will be infinately easier as Spot did not care for the mouth swabbing but now does the "baby bird" open mouth for food. I also must continue twice daily drops in the eyes.
We are not out of the woods just yet but everyone is much more positive about a full recovery for our little lizard.
