It would be really nice if you might be able to give him some updates over the phone, just to let him know how she is doing- better, worse, or the same. Just leave a message that you are calling with an update so he knows the progress. So much of what we do is uncharted territory and we lose our patients to follow up, so it is nice to know what works and doesn't work.

Good luck and keep us posted.
Oh I definitely will!! I told him that when I can afford to, I'm gonna bring her back for a followup and checkup. I just gave her the first dose of oral meds for the worms and she didn't like that at all!! She kept acting as though she wanted to throw it back up (it didn't come tho, thank god) We also put silvadine on her leg to promote healing of that leg.. I'm gonna take pics next time I administer it to check progress. I need to force feed her the crickets, but I'm not sure how she would do it and I'm scared of accidentally choking her.
