as one of "the old-timers" here, please accept MY apology for our seemingly rude behavior!

please understand that every couple weeks or so, someone new pops up on this forum + wants us to tell them how to fix their under $10 iguana because since they didn't pay much $ for it, it's not worth taking it to the vet ...

it's VERY hard to not react when something like that appears ~ especially if you've been have for any length of time + have tried over + over again to convince people that ALL animals are "worth it", no matter what ...

the problem is that we now tend to react like that automatically, without hearing all the facts FIRST ... and i hate to, but i DO include myself in that catagory ... :( ... there's SO much ignorance towards ig-care "out there", that we tend to believe the worst until proven otherwise ... and THAT is not fair, right, OR accurate in some cases ...

i'm very glad you weren't SO angry that you didn't come back + explain to us! i would really hate to think that we chased someone, who really cares, away!

and i'm VERY glad to hear that the prognosis for your ig appears to be very good at this point!!! you deserve much praise for acting as quickly as you did in seeking medical attention and i truly hope that all of your caring for your ig is rewarded by a full recovery! *grin*

please come back + tell us how she's doing ... and feel free to ask/answer questions, share stories/pix, etc!!! you've found a bunch of ig-fanatics here! LOL

oh ~ + your apology is gracefully accepted ~ and believe me, i DO understand the stress of being sick + crazy with worry over one's ig!!! (iZ has been thru waaaaaaay too much in the last 20 months)

best wishes + a belated welcome,
Bon. + iZ
