As I mentioned last night, Bowser has had some weird poops lately so I took him to the “Avian & Exotic Pet Vet” today. It is really nice because it happens to be right down the street, and Bowsie does not like car rides! Anyway, I needed to take a fecal sample to them this morning so after Phil left for work I put Bowser in the bath so he could do work. Well he usually does his business and wiggles away and that’s when we pick him up out of the tub. Today he decided that he would poop and then kick it all around alllllllll over the bath tub. Thanks Bowz. So my day started with about 30 minutes of trying to scoop out the best pieces of poop from the tub and then trying to drain it in order to put it in a baggie and take it to the vet. When I finally took it to the vet I had to wait for the results and guess what – this lizard has pinworms and roundworms in his belly. Poor bowsie!!!
SO0o0o I had to make him an appt. and bring his little lizard self back to be examined and to get some meds. They had an opening at 1:30 so we made our way back then; Bowsie had to be hidden in a shoe-box because he is not allowed at the apartment. The vet said he looked healthy and she gave me some tips about his lights and stuff. She gave Bowser some meds by prying open his mouth and injecting it (he didn’t like that), and we have to give it to him two more times over the next month. Worms in bearded dragons are common. Actually, beardies have some in them all the time and are considered healthy but Bowser just has wayyyy too many. That’s all I’ll say about that.
Since Phil is gone, I am dying of boredom despite all the adventures I had with Bowser. When I got home, I cleaned a lot, I fed the snake, I cleaned Bowser’s cage, and now I’m watching Tori & Dean. Help!
