That is a waste. I would of questioned his knowledge of reptiles.

Unfortunately there still isn’t a whole lot of vets with reptile knowledge or are even willing to take time to learn about them.

You can write a letter to the state veterinarian’s office to file a complaint against this vet so he will be censured and advised not to treat iguanas. Go to www.state.**.us (put in the 2 letter abbreviation for your state in place of the **) to look up contact information.

That is horrible! akkkk! That is the worst when you know more than the vet and they aren’t even open-minded enough to listen. Definitely steer clear of that vet. Are there any others in your area that may be better. Did you check www.herpvetconnection.com or ARAV These would be places to start. If you cannot find anything at these sites, you may have to call around.
