    Default Here we go again

    My whites Lucy is stumbling
    around and almost lost her balance tonight. I put her in a little tank with two crickets. She had no interest, I pushed one around in her face and she finally ate it. When I picked her up she couldn't keep her balance. She was wabbeling. When I took her out of the tank before she was up on a branch sitting normal. It's almost like she is dizzy. I took her to the vet about 2 weeks ago. She gave her meds for slight ear infection. We took an X-ray and notice she had a gall stone and some eggs. Could this be a problem?! I have never dealt with a female whites and one with all these problems! Any input would help. I will call the vet on thurs since its a stupid holiday tomorrow!!

    Wonder if the ear infection has come back. Surely it would result in balance issues.

    Hope she is better in the morning.

    Thanks,me too. She was on antibiotics for 10 days..maybe it wasn't strong enough. I was going to make a follow up appointment anyways, just sucks it has to be on a holiday! Never fails! Just worried about her. Aughhh no more frogs for me!!! I will admire them from a far!

    Well my vet recorded her and posted it on the Vet state boards to see if anyone has any input. She has never seen it. We were only able to get a cbc(complete blood count) done, Lucy was all over the place and was pretty hard to get anymore blood from her. She put her on 14 days of oral antibiotics and going from there. She did say though this may be a permanent thing and might be considered a special needs. If she isn't in pain and only needs assistance eating then that will be it.

    Yea that's not all I have spent lol, thank you though. See these people don't understand how much it really is to take care of an "exotic" animal. I have spent about 900 on her care. And people say oh it's just a frog. Drives me nuts! I know I am spending more money than I can afford sometimes but it's worth it if we find what's wrong with my boo! Hetfields cremation was 250.00 I think some of my friends stroked out from that lol they are my babies.
