I would just like to take a moment to make a post in memory of my 8 month old tegu, Taylor, who passed away yesterday. I got Taylor 2 months ago from someone who took horrible care of him. I knew he had MBD so i treated my little guy accordingly bringing him to the best vets around. Tuesday night around 11 he seemed to have what looked like a seizure, then suddenly his hind legs and tail went limp. I rushed my Taylor to the reptile emergency facility near me and $700 later we realized just how bad his MBD was. his radiographs were horrible his bones were so weak and frail they barely stood out from his liver and other organs. due to this His spine had collapsed which paralyzed him. The vets there were shocked at how healthy he appeared. They also mentioned the impeccable care that he was given in the hopes of trying to mend him they all wish that they had lived in his enclosure and was fed his diet and vitamins! His regular vet is devastated as am I and my fiance . I knew it was a long shot bringing him in and trying to save him but how can you help but get attached to such an adorable animal? Sadly I euthanized my little guy, as I thought would be the best decision for him. but i have no regrets in the time/money i spent trying to turn his life around and save him.
Rest In Peace My Little Guy, Taylor.
