Iguannut (I guess when you don't come up with a name right away, whatever you start calling it sticks :) ) went to the vet today and much has been accomplished. First of all, she is a girl. Secondly, she is FULL of worms! This explains the lumps I had mentioned and also the large belly and small legs. Well, the small legs are just from no where to climb and bad diet from before I got her, but the vet did say worms will keep them from growing so...hopefully she'll be big and strong in no time. :) The vet and technician were very pleased with how I am keeping her (thanks to you guys). :) Lastly, I did get to hold her finally. She was fussy, but I just grabbed on and she eventually stopped squirming. :) This is tremendous progress and I feel much more confident now. :) We have to go back in 3 weeks to check her again.

Oh yeah, on the ride to the vet, she decided she had to poop and so she got poop ALL over herself and was very smelly. They didn't mind, but laughed about it. :) They just reached in and grabbed her, they were GREAT! :)

Have a great day you guys,
Shanna

You'll see a big difference once she's rid of worms. Abner, our Jnelson 05/22/02 (0)
