If your feeding dubias please stop- she can eat bsfl or silk worms for a staple insect

Huh

 

[Krystal0]

I feel like it's bad for them.

Dubias are high in uric acid - silk worms or bsfl- are better options

From the moment she woke up from brumation, the first 1/2 months I did not feed her insects, and she did not get any better. Now she eats crickets every few days and eats her veggies every day, yet there is no change.

I have ordered some bsfl, thank you for the advice!

Hello,

Are you putting her on gout medication, or have the swelling of the legs go down?
How is she doing now, is she eating greens//veggies & a few insects still? Let us know how she
is doing.

Hi Tracie, I am not able to put her on gout medication as it is only per prescription, and my vet thinks it's not necessary. In 2 weeks, I will be getting a second opinion on that. She eats her greens quite well (some days are better than others), and I have switched her to BFSL. She goes to the bathroom regularly and spends her days basking, however, she is not so active.
Yet there persists a bump in her lower right abdomen, it's hard but it is larger than before, there is no swelling or redness around the area, and she doesn't mind being handled.
Legs are still swollen, but the back legs have decreased in size.

I'm working on a response from her. I think she's doing better.

This is the best I could do, you can also see the swelling in her arm area....
This has only appeared since I started feeding her bfsl

They don't look too bad - you can get some of the stuff I posted and brush her teeth- I see the swelling - any updates on the meds?

My current vet doesn't know what's wrong with her, so no meds from her. I am still waiting on a reply from another exotic vet specialist.

Is there anything else I could use instead of the maxi-guard?
