update on vinny

Postby mybtsvinny » Fri May 03, 2013 5:33 pm

As some of you may know my baby bts was very skinny and didn't move or eat went to the vet Saturday. It turned out that he had a very aggressive brain tumor which would explain the bubbles coming out if his eye and the complete oblivion towards the crickets that I offered. The vet said that he had no visione in his right eye and his left was almost completely blind. He was put down yesterday humanely :'(. Thankyou all so much for those who helped :)

That's sad. I'm sorry you went through that.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did the vet diagnose the tumour? I don't mean to sound morbid, but it's a clinical condition I haven't come across in my skinks, unsurprisingly, so I wondered for my own interest, how the vet made the diagnosis.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss. It's always sad losing an animal.
