This is the first iguana that we discussed when you came up from rockford... SVL was about 5 inches if that. Yes it did have to be put down.
The humane society's foster was feeding cal-sand with baby food beef stew for like 3 weeks. it had NO lower jaw...
I also just picked up another last week from manitowoc. This one also had to be put down. The saddest part is the owner had put TONS of money into vets who dianosed it with everything from too much calcium to a fractured jaw. I still havent decided how exactly I am going to handle getting good info to the vets. I cnat rightly go off in a letter and tell them what i think. That iguana was 3 inches SVL. Prolly the smallest ig I have ever seen and one of the most messed up ones I have seen as well...
I did feel bad for the owner. He tried REALLY REALLY hard to do things right and i have a feeling that the info that not only the place he bought the reptile from but also the pet stores and vet clinics made the situation worse. He basically started doing things right and just spiraled downward from there due to bad info given to him by vets and pet stores.
