That sounds like great news, the piece of mind the vet brought today was worth it in my opinion. Husbandry is important and toot away. A bad situation but doing everything right is what Yafe needs sick or not. As keepers, we accepted that responsibility and need to live up to it. Weather that makes you dad of the year is out of my pay grade but hearing about a healthy animal is Good for credibility. I think offering advice on husbandry is best taken as leadership by example. That goes for everything.
Hope to hear a feeding story soon.

That's my kind of "update"! zina10 wasn't the only one holding her breath... Happy Dance!

So glad to hear the good news! I’m too out of shape to hold my breath, but I’ve had everything crossed!

I am being hugely optimistic and spent the afternoon with Katie rearranging the reptile area in anticipation of Yafe's new digs coming in about a month.

I wanted to share the link in his thread as I fully expect him to heal completely and eat soon! POSITIVE THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for looking.

Great news. I haven’t had much time to read everyone else’s replies I just search for yours. I’ll catch up when my season is over. I’m glad everything is working out, another great, responsible, caring reptile owner. Good job Bro!!!

More good news.

Yafe's CBC (blood work) came back a few minutes ago. His white blood cell count is slightly elevated, but that's consistent with a healing RI. It is not high enough to suspect anything more serious going on such as a secondary, or other, active infection.

The vet maintains that the prognosis is good and to keep up the injections. He gets his 5th tonight and I will advise on how he looks, as I usually do.

Yafe got his 5th injection tonight. He's doing as well, if not better, than he has since we got him.

He only wheezed when I held him down and restrained him for the injection. He still pops fairly regularly, but doesn't seem to need to open his mouth significantly, if at all, to breathe, and he is flicking is a tongue a lot more.

Below are two pictures of him tonight after the injection and two video links. One is a video right after the injection and the other is a minute later when I put him back in his enclosure.
