I find her story inspiring actually, not necessarily sad. She has had the heart and will to survive through a horrible ordeal with an illness, she sounds like she adjusting well and coping...to me that is fantasic! I keep thinking about how many human people just give up when fronted with something like this ( such as a defiguring illness ), and your little lizard keeps going and going...to me that is inspiring. She is very special indeed! And it sounds like she has someone who really cares about her, and will help her through all of this!!!! :-)

: Where did you get Tums? Zabouri doesn't really have use in her fingers, but she does somehow use them to help herself climb because she doesn't even have fingers on her right hand. It makes me sad watching her climb around because she thinks she's as fine as any other iggy. She has learned to climb on the front of the cage, though (her favorite thing to do when she's trying to see if there's more food somewhere else in the cage. I want to be able to go 5 years into the future and see how Zabouri will be doing then.

: The good news is that she's shedding her old skin again so I guess she's growing. :)

: : Erin ~
: : the intent was NOT to make you feel bad OR accuse you of not caring ~ not at all!!! no, no, no! :)

: : marissa just saw some things in the pic that concerned her + wanted to bring it to your attention *in case* you weren't familiar with MBD + it's signs/symptoms ~ that's all!

: : it's really hard to remember + keep track of all the different ig's medical histories here ... and since you know that your ig DID have a bad case of MBD when you 1st met her, *that* would explain her arm ...

: : the fact that she's regained the use of her fingers is awesome + it *does* sound like you've been doing a good job! we just tend to get worried quite easily about the igs we "meet" ~ that's all ...

: : btw ~ i use TUMS EX for iZ ... i have very little faith in the products "made especially for igs" in pet stores ... :)

: : very best wishes!
: : Bon. + iZ
