: I think my iguana(Zues) had a heart attack or stroke today. I went into my room to get dressed and there he was in his hammock basting with his front legs pointed straight back while his body jerked back and forth. Then he flipped off of his hammock and landed on his back with his tongue sticking out , while his body continued to jerk as though he were having a seizure. I thought he was dead, so I ran downstairs to phone my girlfriend who is a veternarian but couldn't reach her. When I returned he appeared normal besides the twitching of his nerves in his front and hind legs. He is 5 years old and has never had any medical problems before. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Any input or advice will be greatly appreciated. This is a serious matter so no oppinions please.
