I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me with one of my sulcatas. When I brought it home it was so sick with a uri. With your help I was able to nurse it back to health with no help from a vet. It couldn't even open its eyes and was always gasping for air. Antibiotics weren't a good idea since it was so small but boosting the temps up pretty high seemed to do the trick.
It has now doubled in size and is doing great. I can't wait to get all 3 outside as soon as it warms up enough in Michigan!

Yay! That's awesome! I'm so glad to hear your baby is doing so much better! I was able to treat one of my babies that had a uri the same from this site too. :)


Life is good
