i wish i had some advise for you. im sorry i dont.. I went through this with my veiled about 5-6 years ago, i took him to my vet that really only deals with "normal" pets (cats&dogs&hampsters) anyways she said it was an infection of some sort and gave him a shot (if i remember right) and as much as i dont wanna tell you he ultimatly died a few days later. I would think that if you're going to a doc that knows reptiles then you might have much better luck then i did, or at least i hope you do... Im sorry i cant help out in this situation.. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BOTH!
