Ok, much thanks!

Thanks, as he was munching on the lawn yesterday I did notice that a lot of dirt and moss was making its way into him also. How does one prevent that? just longer grass? Maybe it gets cut a little too low. Also Ill be researching how to teach him to drink more in detail, any tips are welcome.

He is getting better! yayayayyaayayay eating a little, pooped a few hard turds. His xrays are posted above. <3

Thank you much.

Got his x-ray! no bladder stones visible, but he release two quail egg sized stones for sure. The intestines are not supposed to be so white, it indicates they are full of something dense. The vet say its looks like something mineral dense.

The inconsistency is that one says only feed mineral oil with food, another says that's dangerous. Thats what's inconsistent. The X-rays dont show any blades stones, but he released two of them, that's also inconsistent. Also find it so off putting that some folks speak with this "please"...

There is just a lot of inconsistent advise here, its making it hard. Im not going to sit and do nothing so Ill just have to do what makes sense to me, along with the Vets advice, even though they drive me crazy.

Ok, so you don't recommend getting him to eat mineral oil with food? Just want to be clear..

Thanks for the castor oil warning, I believe you, but do you have any more info on why? due to that I already used it..and he did get a stone out afterwards. Im so sorry to hear about Bob, it breaks my heart.Why did he get the stones if he was so hydrated? Truth is I dont have 5000 dollars for...

Hi Tom, can one use castor oil instead of mineral oil for a constipated Sulcata? Thanks!

Yes I might have to take him elsewhere, though they do communicate with the other better place that is a few hours away. He lives in the yard, its big, wood chips, though those haven't seemed to be a problem so far. He sleeps under bushes of his choosing even though he has a little house. He is...

OMG yes it does look like it. His X-rays didnt show any round objects oddly enough, just his intestines were unusually solid, I wish I had a copy of them now so I could show them, but the whiter it is the more solid, like bone, the darker/more black it is the less dense, like gas. The...

Tho it could be perlite, this doesn't really look like it. See pictures attached. Wtf is it!? Vet got the first one out, he just pooped this one out in the soak. Im afraid there is a lot more..

thank, I hope too <3

Oh and he is a sulcata 5 yrs old, and yes I’m soaking him in lukewarm water for a couple of hours at a time twice a day. He won’t eat anything. Not even the nopales cactus pads thinly shredded. X-rays showed his entestines pretty damn full of “something” I believe it’s perlite. I’m worried.

Hello, is it ok to use castor oil instead of mineral oil for constipation? Rectally inserted. He is dangerously constipated, I believe he got in to some perlite. The vet is too damn slow and I’m not going to sit here and roll my thumbs watching Tobias suffer and potentially die. thanks!!
