In Reply to: please help!! my ig is really sick!! posted by Lorraine on January 30, 2001 at 14:25:17:

: My iguana has a really bad mouth infection. The whole length of the right side of the roof of his mouth is swollen and some stuff that I think is lymph (it is jello-ish and has a yellowy tint) keeps building up around his gums. There are no, I repeat, no vets within 80 miles who will even look at my poor guy, he won't eat solids but drinks a cup of liquid a day. I am trying to get as much nutrition down his throat as possible but he is starting to show signs of deficiencies.

: He is a rescue case I have had for about 3 years. He had MBD and a broken leg that I had to fix since the vet I took him to claimed to be a reptile expert but said she couldn't figure out what was wrong and charged me $90 for the visit anyway.

: My boss had an ig that grew to the ripe old age of 18, and his got an infection sort of like mine which was cured by putting a Calendula tincture on it. I started doing this friday and it looks a tiny bit better. Please someone help, if you have any sort of advice or experice with this sort of thing please let me know!!!
: (by the way, please don't yell at me and tell me i am a horrible ig owner because I won't drive him 80 miles to the vet because I don't have a car and none of my friends can get off work to do it for me i already asked and if there was a way to get him to a doctor i wouldn't be posting this.)Thank you so much anyone who can help! I am really worried about my boy.
