    Hi all,
    Our Argus has been feeling ill, (vomiting, not holding fluids etc) for about a week. She is over ten, her exact age is unknown. We are concerned about her well being and will be running some bloodwork once I am able to bring home the right vile for her blood.
    Our regular vet is on maternity leave, and another vet (A hospital I once worked) will run the test if we bring in the blood, so I have to go get a vile for her blood so it doesn't coagulate (sp?) so it can be run. We are doing a basic scan at first to check her liver, kidney levels.
    My question is, does anyone here (maybe KG will spot this thread:)) keep Argus Monitors, does anyone know what they fall ill to mainly, for example, Iguanas even when well cared for generally fall victim to kidney issues. Does anyone know if this has been known to happen alott with monitors (I've seen it mainly in unwell cared for savs, and Niles.) But this is the only Argus we've had in our care.
    Anyhow, please keep her in your thoughts, we hope for the best.
    Rusty
