It was a rough summer for us.
First, we lost Chimichurri. Our sweet baby ornate pacman frog. We only had him about a week before he passed on. Something was strange, he seemed to be suffering from a fungal infection we just couldn't fight despite constantly cleaning his enclosure. Woke up one day and he was covered in mold. Heartbreaking..
Next, we lost bubba. He was always so sweet, but always had trouble shedding his eye caps. We always had to assist his shedding process by extra bathing and humidity. During a shed he scratched his eye and got it severely infected. We took him to a vet and got antibiotics to help the eye heal, but he continued to be irritated by it and it kept getting infected. He went blind and refused to eat. He lost weight quickly and we ended up having to put him down when he just was too far gone.
He had the happiest little smile of any gecko we ever saw. I miss his sweet face. We had him for nearly three years now, it's so hard to realize he's gone.
Finally last night, we lost Guacamole. It kills me. We had him as long as bubba. I don't even know what happened here. He was fine. He buried himself one night and never came back out.
My big old frog. He had just started singing to us. Now he's gone.
It's not been fun. We tried so hard, constantly in touch with the vets to figure things out.
