A friend of mine who does a little rescue work took this Water Dragon from a pet store 8 weeks ago. He had a badly fractured rear leg. After the vet tried to reduce the fracture and tape the leg she waited 7 weeks for xrays to comfirm that the fracture wasn't healing. The friend is moving and cannot take the Dragon so he came to me. Yesterday morning at 8am I took him to the clinic for an amputation. I got a call just before 10 that he was done, alert, and ready to come home!! Today he's doing remarkably well, moving around his tank and eating mucho crickets! Just wanted to share this little dragon's good fortune (yes, it is good fortune for he probably would have died at the pet store). As a footnote, my good fortune is that the vet didn't charge me for anything, including the surgery! What a great guy!!

Folks, meet Ming!
