Thought I'd give an update...

Fuzzgig is doing well! He's been eating (with some help from me), he's not as fluid-y, and he's been more active! I've been pampering him too, I got him a foam mat to go underneath the moss so his feet and belly don't get irritated by the plastic mesh, as well as some new plastic plants. He's finished his antibiotic treatment, now just getting the calcium and the UVB light.

We see the vet again on the 24th!

You are such a good froggie parent! (Frogrent?)

I fed him the day before yesterday, and he actually ate on his own! It's the first time since before thanksgiving that he has done that!!! He ate two worms, I offered a 3rd but he was more interested in staring at me. We see the vet tomorrow at 9:30!

That is great! I hope he Will be back to himself soon Sending good thoughts!

Fuzzgig went to the vet today! The vet said he's doing well, we're continuing the calcium for 2 more weeks, and if he relapses (stops eating again) he'll go back on the antibiotic. So it looks like we'll be good to go!

Oh, and as we were leaving, the frog decided to poop! Which is good! What is not good however, is that since we weren't at home, I couldn't clean it up right away. So he put his hands in the poop. And then he decided to try and climb the walls and smear it everywhere! And then go back to the poop!

I had to clean his hands as he tried to squirm away from me, and his container is currently covered in baking soda to absorb the poop smears and pick up the smell. If you've never had to smell frog poop, consider yourself lucky.

I can imagine, Iguana poop stinks to high heaven!
