In Reply to: CW, any word on Jacki??? What's the latest? n/m posted by Harry's Dad on October 04, 2000 at 19:34:25:

The latest word is that Jacki is ok. Maybe a little stressed by the fact that
1: change in season
2: change in when her cage is getting light - her lights are on 12 hours per day - same time everyday. But when the seasons change it gets dark sooner and light later. So instead of getting 14-15 hours our light, she is getting 12
3. The new vet ( who used to own igs himself ) could not find anything wrong with the blood or the fecals. Also he said that Jacki looked ok for her age.
4. Only negative thing was a slight loss of weight, but he said that comes from the cut-back in her eating
5. There is no serious dehydration

So in effect, there is nothing wrong. Everything checks out ok. For whatever reason, Jacki got freaked and did weird stuff.

Jacki spent the day in my car, where she was able to sleep and keep warm - high 80's in the car. I gave her water too.

I will keep an eye on her. The other igs, monitor and tegu have also cut down on food, only eating maybe half of what they normally eat.

That is it for now. I will probably take Sydney in for a check-up next week.

Thanks for everyone's concern and info.
