[Sand]

She has been on pine before and never had this type of reaction. I have never seen anything in any of my animals to incline me towards believing that the pine is the issue.

I felt aggravated that I came here for advice and instead ended up being treated like a newbie and arguing over whether or not pine is an issue. Evenstar came off as condescending when she dismissed the symptoms out of hand as soon as she heard I was using pine. I have had so many people condescend to me for using pine when I've never had an issue with it, and they can never provide me with solid evidence that pine is in fact an issue.

I was incredibly frustrated that after all my years of experience, my concerns were being dismissed as being caused by a bedding that I have every reason to believe is benign.

I apologized, and yet everyone else is more interested in raking me over the coals for being rude.

Just out of curiosity, How many years have you been working with herps?

IIRC, oil based reactions normally show up after prolonged exposure. And at the same time, some animals reaction are violent and others seem "immune" to the effects. That being said, what it is the harm in swapping it up with some newspapers whilst waiting on your vet appointment? Now omitting that fact I would be more inclined to lean towards either IBD or RI as well... And I really hate saying that because both are generic "go-to" reasons and thoughts no matter how serious or minor the "symptoms" are being expressed.. Dolly's symptoms sound rather serious which is why I even took the time to mention it. Please update after the vet apt.
