Finally - 5 years late: An introduction to Cleo, Carra, and Kayla

[Bogertophis]

Teaches me to wear one of my favorite shirts when medicating a gecko.

Cleo wasted all over me tonight. I feel terrible. She was really unhappy.

I plan on trying to medicate in her tank or in a container next time and not restraining her in my hand as much.

Again, she calmed down soon after, but was visibly upset when we medicated her. I know it has to be done, but it still stresses me out to know she is stressed.

I feel your pain...I'm having to give my almost 16-year old dog injections, & at the vet tech's suggestion, I tried to sneak up on her while she was "eating her yummy dinner", poor thing. She didn't appreciate it, but she went back to eating...with some of her hair standing up. So sorry sweet baby...and sorry for your Cleo too. Responsible pet-parenting isn't always easy, is it?
