1967331 tn?1327880044 Hi there! It's crazy busy in our house! Our little guy is doing great and growing like a weed. I'm off for a total of 16 weeks and go back to work at the end of July. This weather has been fabulous in IL. We've been taking stroller walks in the neighborhood, which is great! I'm looking forward to getting my vegetable garden going next week too. Anyone's baby have baby acne? Drake's is getting better now, but he had it bad for a few weeks. How is everyone sleeping?
Avatar m tn Nutritional Secondary Hyperparathyroidism occurs when a Monitor is on a diet containing insufficient amounts of calcium, too much phosphorus, and low vitamin D exposure (from natural source or lack of an adequate UVB light). Calcium becomes leached out of the bones to supply the organs, thus, the bones become soft and are prone to fractures and deformities. This problem can lead to pain which then leads to anorexia and decreased energy.
Avatar n tn What is causing the sound of crickets in my head, morning noon and night. When it was summer I thought to myself, "I can't wait til winter and I don't hear crickets all the time" Well winter came and they are still chirping. I really wish I could enjoy true quiet again.
Avatar m tn I have started to notice that when he walks his legs shake and when he thrashes with his crickets or worms he tips over. He seems very weak and I'm not sure why. We keep his cage 60% humid and a basking spot of 100. He is only about 4-5 inches long. He has about 10 inches of eco earth in his cage because we were told to use that. Now prior to this the local pet store had new people working in the animal area and they sprayed window cleaner in the cricket container that same day.
Avatar m tn Can you help by providing some more information for us? What kind of enclosure does she have and what kind of heat and light sources do you have? What is her current diet and how often does she normally eat? When was the last time she shed? thanks...I think the answers to those questions might help our doctors.
1283064 tn?1271483808 I've had my savannah monitor for about a month now and he is the size of my hand. I feed him crickets right now. He has been acting normal until a few days ago. He went from roaming around his tank and basking and swimming to hardly moving. He stopped pooping in the water and his poop is like full crickets. Like they aren't being digested. I checked him this morning and he was just laying on his log and when I went to check him his eyes wouldnt open and he just layed there.
2122807 tn?1560619706 It's day 235 for me. and all of these dreadful symptoms are a thing of the past, except for one.... this ringing in the ears. It is not as intense as it was in the beginning, but still very annoying. Does anyone know how long this may take, and has anyone had this be permanant? I can live with it, life is great now, but it sure would be nice to get rid of.
Avatar m tn they are somewhat runny and only a little white solid which is their urine i think
Avatar m tn after two months of syringe feeding, I decided to try crickets. which he LOVES. he now eats crickets every two days and actually moves around a lot more than when I got him. however, no other vets can help, the nearest vet that we have not been to yet is two hours away and they can't do eye surgeries on geckos, which I believe he needs. he would need to be sent away for the surgeries, these vets are so far away I simply can't do that. his eyes are so bad and I feel so bad.
Avatar m tn I have had this savannah monitor for a week today and fed him crickets..but I believe he may have eaten some moss as well..now he is throwing up and sleeping excessively.
1143729 tn?1261239293 s He has been eating only crickets if anything. I have a separate cricket cage which had a block of a calcium cube I assume, which was already in the bag from when I bought it from PetCo. Also, it has gone away so I put in some of this: http://www.petco.com/product/9430/Fluker%27s-Cricket-Quencher.aspx Other than that I am not to sure on what is wrong. Should I be feeding crickets anything other than that gel? I think I should try apples like you mentioned above.
Avatar n tn Sorry to hear that the lizard died and that you didn't get any advice to help you. There could have been a number of factors that killed it. First, having a tank in the sun for two days could've resulted in overheating, not enough heat, too little or too much humidity, not enough shade...basically, a terrarium should be indoors in a controlled environment.
Avatar m tn I have even heard of ravenous tarantulas eating 20 crickets in a few days. Then they stop to digest their food for awhile. You may also want to offer a variety of foods such as mealworms and other insects so that your tarantula gets adequate vitamins and minerals and not just from one food source of crickets. Congratulations on your new healthy pet & good luck, Dr.
Avatar n tn If this information helps she is also shedding, but I never noticed blood when any of my other reptiles shed. I have several theories of my own such as she has been dehydrated due to her substrate being too dry (due to some bad advice from the pet store where I bought her), or perhaps the crickets I feed her have been biting her, though that wouldn't necessarily account for the entire rash on her belly.
Avatar f tn Try not to be alarmed. This happened to me as well, it DID subside. It's constant and annoying!!! I contributed mine to lack of sleep and the anxiety. I'm on day 9 and I actually fell asleep last night on my own. Still not getting a full nights sleep but it's getting better everyday!!! You're doing amazing!! Keep up the great work!!!
105530 tn?1279585282 I have a really bad phobia of crickets and grasshoppers. I can't stand them. Hubby brought a cricket in the house once in a jar, and I literally passed out. My big family flip flop was back in 2004. I lived in texas and was renting a really crappy trailer. I was attempting to make a double layered cheese cake, when my oven went haywire and my cheese cake went up in flames in front of everyone! Hubby had to yank it out of the oven while I sat there and stared, then broke down in tears.

230262 tn?1316645934 Some people here still can do their favorite hobbies, others have had to give them up entirely and some are sort of in between. I just wondered what activities relax you and help your pain (other than medicine i mean)? My gardening definitely calms me and I enjoy the quiet peacefulness it brings when out in nature and "living off the land". Hearing the birds sing, squirrels scold, crickets chirp, frogs singing etc brings me great peace.
1663430 tn?1306162863 The sweet scent of Gardenias in full bloom as the sun light dances on dew covered pedals....Forget me not. Feet soaking in the wet, sandy, edge of the earth as a salty mist cools my skin....Forget me not the soft light of the moon shimmering through the trees with fireflies dancing in the background and crickets sing a lullaby.......Forget me not Heart pounding, butterflies, reach in for that first taste of my heart's desire, Bliss......
973741 tn?1342342773 So, I was having one of my great and treasured conversations with my son who is very sensitive and cerebral. He is very thoughtful when he forms an opinion and he said he was just laying in bed thinking about this question one night and wanted to know my answer to it. What would I rather never feel again? Anger or sadness. He had a very interesting take on it. so, which would you rather never feel again, Anger Or Sadness?
237039 tn?1264258057 How many of you have this problem? I suppose it is linked to either one or more of my meds or my blood pressure. It's like being in the woods all the time. I hear crickets!!!
Avatar f tn When I stand up I get a painless pessure surrounding my brain and my hearing cuts in and out for a few seconds to rhyme of my heartbeat. It's not tinnitus because I hear no noises. What I hear is pulsating volume changes with that head pressure. I've autonomic dysfunction, allergies, migraines, lots of neurological symptoms. It's happening at the same time in both ears. Been happening for a few years but not daily. It just happened.
Avatar m tn Its interesting because the newspaper is saying that he "hated the homeless" but I believe he shot 2 Native Americans. There is a minority group if there ever was one. There is a group of repressed individuals if there ever was one and all you hear is crickets..... Nobody is saying a word.
