Hi all, well I gues I am on the not a waste of time side but then we have a very special herp vet that is less than 2 miles from our house. He helped me a ton with our tort Frankie while the reptile expert in our home was gone for 2 weeks and Frankie had an RI infection. Dr. B helped me with dosages, supported me as I learned to do injections on the tort (which I had never done before) dehydration, even getting tort back on eating. He has also addressed some special issues as Frankie came with some evidence of diet swings (not enough calcium/too much calcium). He has answered emails for us for a couple of weeks after her illness to make sure that Frankie was really better. I think if any pet is very sick it is very helpful if a doc that knows that animal is available. I know ours helped me.
