Okay before you say "GO TO THE VET" I am just waiting for the vet office to open this morning. Rocko has not been eating for the last three days. I thought maybe his appetite had gone down because he is shedding~ Its hard to tell if he eats as he is very secretive and doesn't like me around when he eats. Well last night i got him out of his hidey place(he seems to be hiding alot in the last few days) he seemd dehidrated (oh by the way Rocko is a baby Rhino Iguana) I gave him a warm bath last night to try to encourage him to go bathroom but then he started opening his mouth and making funny throat noises~ Was very scary~ So waiting for it to be 9 oclock so i can call the vet~ There doesn't seem to be very much Rhino info on the net so i stayed up late going over my green iguana books and possible things that might be wrong~ I got maybe blockage? I am also freaking out because i am going on vacation in 4 days!!!~ I am leaving the country and my sister will be taking care of my animals~ but i hate to leave Rocko if he is not feeling good~ He has always eaten well and poohed everyday~ So this is really out of character~ Any idea's on what it might be? I will let you know what the vet says when i get back! Thanks~ Tif
