 About Felipe...

well i haven’t mentioned anything bout him in a while...well just to let you guys know...he is doing MUCH better...his bump on his back is practically gone...his tail is growing back fast...his mouth was weird for a while but now is normal...& he’s getting these beautiful blue/aqua & brown colors w/ his bright green...i will get pics soon...i’ve been busy w/ a 300 pt. class project(gov. class is evil )...i wish i had my camera yesterday...i was at my boyfriend’s uncle’s house yesterday(Felipe’s birthplace)...& i let him walk around just a lil bit here & there...well he got sneaky & ran in the pool, dove under the water, came up & swam in full circles round the pool...i was freaking out...it’s a big pool...but i thought it was the cuteest thing at the sametime...eventually he realized it was cold, he needed to swim TOO long of distances, & that he couldn’t get out on his own...so eventually he swam back to my hand after like 3 long swims back & forth cross the pool...i’m surprised he went in the pool...he hates baths...lol...i guess he’s like a normal little kid =^_^=

um...i’m not sure if it was actually "broken"..but it may have been...i was still never able to get to the vet...well...he had this huge hump that i think bothered him a bit...it also gave him a pinched nerve which gave him no feeling in his back legs or tail...but it all fixed itself & he’s a lot better now

"it also gave him a pinched nerve which gave him no feeling in his back legs or tail "

does that mean he was not able to move his tail or back legs? .. you also mentioned his mouth was odd... this all together sounds like a fairly progressed stage of metabolic bone disease.

I dont know though, just saying. Did you change his diet at some point in time and or add or remove some type of lighting or supplements?

please don’t take that the wrong way, I’m just thinkin?

take care and of course good to hear.

I’m glad to hear he got his feeling back. I really do think you should have seen a vet. If a possible broken back and loss of feeling in the legs wouldn’t make you see a vet, what would? I do think he could have MBD. If he does, he will be prone to more broken bone injuries. Again, I am happy to hear he is on the mend.

That’s good. Let us know how it goes. They may want to give him a calcium injection to help him (a boost).
