In Reply to: Roxy- Thank you all for your Advise! posted by Kera on November 01, 2001 at 21:44:57:

: I just wanted to thank all the nice Igg lovers out there who responded to "Ill Iguana-Please Advise Urgent" a few weeks back. I never knew there was such a community of folks just like me.
: Roxy passed away on October 30th about 5am. I was fortunate to have held him in my arms one last time before he bid us farewell. He woke me up thrashing about on the floor at 4:30am and I noticed that he was having trouble breathing. I tried to calm him by bringing him in to our bed but he was quite restless. I tucked him back into bed and found him at peace an hour later. He live a great life! We spoiled him a lot. He loved to watch the birds out side his window, occationally they would sit on the sill outside curious about what he was doing there.
: I asked that our vet do the autopsy and the result determined that Roxy had a very bad cancer, Amoloynoma-I'm not sure of the spelling. She was only able to locate one other case of this in a reptile. The cancer had spread throughout his heart, liver and kidney too I believe. We can not determine what caused this, but we are thankfull that Roxy went as he did, at home, in peace, snuggled in his bed.
: Thanks again!
