In Reply to: Vet update... posted by shanna on July 14, 2002 at 16:41:55:

I am by FAR!!! a newbie at Igs but My rule is "When in Doubt, check it out!" If you have doubts and I mean ANY! doubts about this Vet, talk to someone who Knows him (as in another Ig owner that really NEEDED help if you know one ) or go to another Vet. Maybe I'm just a paranoid person but I take pride in My animals and they health care they get. I only like the best. If I don't like a vet, I find a new one. No matter how good He is with the animal. I listen to me gut feelings. Only time I've had a problem is when I haven't listened to them. That's my advice. Others may disagree....
Hope all goes well!!

: We went and got x-rayed again last Monday (right before our vacation) and the "object" was still in the same place, but she had pooped all the extra poop out and as far as the vet could see, she was all healthy. So he's thinking that it could either be a mineral deposit or an abscess (sp?). Either way, I need to go back in a little while to check on her health. Oh, and the vet isn't sure that she's a she. The first time that I went he said he was leaning toward a girl (he never posatively identified "her"). He heard me say she and said that he thought it was actually probably a boy. At any rate, I think I'm going to go to another vet. Although I want a second opinion, the drive is also a bit far if its not necessary. He still seems very knowledgable and deals with several iguanas (even very large ones), but he was SO casual about the "object" in the x-ray. And I am SO SO sorry, but I was running really behind and I forgot to grab the camera to take pictures. I'll have to try for next time.

: What do you guys think?
