I always love how your tortoises and lizards respond to you. I never thought reptiles would respond like other pets. Thank you for educating everyone on the critters. They are fascinating. I am so happy to see Lumpy digging. I think he is very happy.

did yours survive, i have one that has pretty bad pneumonia and not sure if she will make it, have her on antibiotics and under constant heat and multiple bathing but so far not much is working.

@dawnoverall9496 Жыл бұрын

@@danjones6702 do you have a humidifier for yours? My red foot has it and I make sure to keep her temp at 80 across her whole cage and humidity between 70 - 80%. She does struggle from time to time with a bit of a snotty nose, but with the mycoplasma, she is always going to have mucus. As long as it remains clear and doesn’t become overwhelming for her to breathe, she does fine. The humidity plays a big part in helping her clear out the mucus in her mouth and nostrils. She does see her vet every 6 months right now for check ups. We did go through about 4 to 5 months of treatment.

I’ve had mycoplasma repeatedly in the past and I have never felt as ill. Only thing I can do to fight it is keep my immune system healthy. Once I burn out due to workplace/life stress, it’s like my body begins to fall apart and it’s a quick downward slide. I feel the pain of the poor animals who have this, as they can’t tell you what they are feeling or how to help them.

I worry all the time about my big spur thigh catching an RI during the winter here in Colorado..... fortunately for twenty years he has over wintered fine in my kitchen.....the only time I ever had problems was when I kept a heat light on him and tried to keep him active inside and eating through the winter.....for sixteen years now he brumates most the winter......after he comes inside mid October I do not feed him much until mid April.....he doesn't fully hibernate of course but he sleeps a lot and gets up for a drink every couple weeks but no food.....its crazy but it takes over a month for all the twigs n leaves n grass from outside to pass through him .... He doesn't loose much weight at all over the winter but he bulks up as the season changes and eats a ton the last month or so he is outside....Peace

@Dovietail 3 жыл бұрын

Mycoplasma is endemic in domestic rats, also, but not in wild rats. We seem to be the common vector, and stress makes it bloom out of control to disastrous effect.

I’m wondering if my rescue boa constrictor has this. I rescued him a few years ago, he’s old and had (still does) a respiratory infection. The mucus has been cultured and mico did not show up. It was another hard to treat bacteria. We treated him for several months. He’s a lot better now, still has some mucus and is finally eating consistently. He was 6lbs when I got him, now he’s about 11lbs. Still on the under weight side. Vet thinks he had this infection for a long time and has caused permanent damage. I still keep him in his own area with no other reptiles near him. Sort of permanent quarantine.
