 Zeaks first vet visit! with pictures

Yesterday I had Zeak go for her first checkup.
I do a yearly checkup on my iguana’s.
they checked her mouth , tummy , clipped her nails and checked her heart beat all look good.

we also took one of my beared dragon’s to the vet. Zabaa , she had this huge bump thing on her chest and i was thinking abcess.
Yesterday the doc told us it could be either a abcess or a tumor.
UPDATE-
She had surgery this morning and it is looking likes a abcess so far. she did good threw the surgery and is resting in a incubator.
so later this afternoon we will go pick her up and bring her home.
she also has worms which i figured we had no poop sample to bring them but he did a fecal at the vet. Shes going to get some meds for her chest and meds for getting rid of those worms.
she’s also going to have pain bills and in 2 weeks will be going back to the vet to remove the stitches.

time for zeak pictures :)
zeak did a real good job at the vet for her first time. she earned a gold star for sure.
mels first time was a interesting one indeed.
usually the vet does the checkup and then there nails but zeak was a different storie.
so we got to watch them clip her nails first. he used a dremel tool for this.




Next he checked her heart beat.




Then he checked her tummy which he said she had a ton of food in there.



and last but not lease he checked her mouth to make sure she had a healthy looking iguana mouth



here are some iguana I HATE YOU pictures lol





she is almost a year old and he told me she looks like a girl for sure.
she is not prego she is healthy
they even weighted her at huge 448 grams so she is ideal weight they said.
