Common health issues your reptile may experience in their lifetime.
Cryptosporidiosis
Usually found in snakes and lizards, cryptosporidiosis is difficult to treat and requires immediate veterinary attention.
Dystocia
A common problem that occurs when a female can’t pass her eggs, it requires x-rays, blood tests, and sometimes surgery.
External Parasites
Ticks and mites can be found on all reptiles and can cause anaemia, septicaemia, and death.
Metabolic Bone Disease
This can affect all reptiles, but the symptoms respond well to veterinary intervention and support.
Shell Infections
Physical trauma can cause fractures that lead to infection but if this is brought to a vet’s attention, shells can often be repaired.
Worms
Roundworms, hookworms, and pinworms are spread easily and may require prescribed antibiotics.
Rango was saved from an ear infection, and his owner, Patrick, was saved from the R3,500 wallet infection.
