My lil albino burm Tyr is sick
« on: January 16, 2010, 04:04:58 AM »
So Ive been thinking that Tyr was to thin for awhile but I put it off to him being a male and just smaller than females in general,  especially since he was super active and ate like he might run out of food sometime.  Well the otehr evening I noticed a hard fixed lump had formed on the side of his spine large enough to see and feel.  So what with his poop being a bit runny having a lump now and being what I still thought was thin  I decided a vet visit was in order.  I took him and afecal sample in to see the vet first thing he did was a xray  and found not one but a ton nearly 20 or so knots on varipus bones mostly ribs.  The fecal showed some kinda worm eggs as well.  The vet gave him a shot of batril and  a shot of vitamin A& D for what he thinks is a bone infection.  as well as Ivermec for the parasites.  He's doing well still today not moving around at all but he's alert and responsive.  So lets hope for the best.

If I were you, I'd get fecals done on those other animals as well. You may have a couple more that need flagyl or ivermec

I was thinking the same actually.   the only one really close is a Albino boa but its worth checking them all I think.   The worms werent a horrible kind he said ( I forget the name he gave me)  but it would be best to know.   they aint cheap though  and I got a few snakes around.   Ill probly have the two nearest him done and if theres nothing wont worry to much about the others.   

Heres a question Ive wondered about though should I feed him?   Yesterday was feeding schedule  but with the lump on his side and him being stressed I wasnt real sure about that.

I would probably wait a few days to let him calm down from the vet visit.  Hope he gets better soon and I would def at least try to treat everyone just in case.

at least have the fecals done and get the source of this thing figured out. Otherwise you could run into a reoccuring problem. as for the lumps on the bones, I dunno... are they like calcium deposits?
