I'm very touched by your sense of loss John! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img] Rest easy knowing that Dexter will be at peace and rather than being gone he'll still be here, as nature intended, in some other form...on the wind, of the earth and in your heart!!! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img] The cycle of birth and death is neverending and all things that were, will be again!

I'm so sorry about dexter! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img] It's such a shame it had to work out like that... but like everyone said he will suffer no more and that's what's most important...

I thought you might need some cheering up...
So I offer you a pic of your little ones....

They are all fat and happy and are a testament to your care for you animals.... You should be proud of the husbandry you give and don't blame yourself for dexter in any way shape or form... you tried as best as you knew how at the time and that's enough...
Hope the pic helps just a little...
Best wishes...

Dear Dexter,
We all want you to know how much your daddy loves you and how much he will miss you. He thinks he failed you, but we know, as you know, that when you do all that you can and give all from your heart, it isn't failure.
You have been a good friend to him and you know if there was anything in this world he could do to make you better so you remain here with him, he would do it-without exception. You will always be a shining light in his heart even now when it is breaking. Until you are together again, be well.

John-God Bless you and keep you both

You tried so hard only because you cared,

Good news everyone,
I had a apointment with the vet my herp society (central florida herp society) recommends and He is a VERY good vet and the only vet who I have been to who knew more then me.
He thinks dexter can defidentally be saved and will be much better in 2-4 weeks.
Here is the deal -

I am giving dexter
<first week>
1cc of water through the mouth once a day in two servings
Liquid vitemen/calcium mix 0.2cc daily
0.4cc of meat based baby food

<second week>
Double servings of everything above (spaced out)
And a fecal slurry from a healthy gecko to help build back up gut flora.
And in two weeks i am going back for a checkup and another fecal. Dexter gave him a small fecal today and was clear of anything, he thinks the parasites are gone and he is just too week to eat on his own, and needs some hydration.
