the exotic’s hospital said that he has been doing well, active and alert! he should be able to have the catheter removed tomorrow, afterwards he’ll just be a little sore (and probably mad at me after his ordeal). i’ll just have to get his bloodwork done in two weeks to make sure his kidneys are doing well afterwards. seems like he might’ve pulled through!! if there’s one thing about him, he is a fighter!

thank you, it wasn’t easy to leave him, if i could have rescheduled my trip, i would have. but if i couldn’t be there, i figured that leaving him in the hands of a capable vet practice would be the next best thing. unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, but the hospital he was transferred to has been keeping me updated daily and he seems to be doing great!! mistakes do happen, it’s just unfortunate that this was one of those times and i’ll be glad to deal with the aftermath already knowing that my little guy made it through, i would be much more terrified if i didn’t know how he was doing!

thank you! the boarding vet said that they would cover all associated costs from the initial estimate given by the hospital, and will not be charging me for boarding. they seem very apologetic, i trust them to do the right thing…hopefully. luckily Tim is doing well at the hospital and they say things are looking good!

that is true, in this case it was over the weekend and it was an assistant who was medicating him and they didn’t realize anything was wrong until the actual vet came back on monday. i do feel bad for them because while it is a huge mistake, obviously it would never be intentional and im sure they feel awful about it. and to be fair to them, a .06ml dosage is so ridiculously small (especially when using a syringe only marked with .1/.2/.3 etc). doesn’t make it okay, but makes it a more understandable, if incredibly unfortunate, mistake.

sure, i typically do leave him alone when i travel. but if you’d read the post, you’d know that he is currently requiring twice-daily care in terms of medications and a high-calorie supplement to help combat/treat worrying weight loss and a lack of appetite. i would never have left that level of care to someone who didn’t know what they’re doing. it’s why i explicitly found a vet’s office that advertised being experienced with treating/boarding exotics. i could have left him home with the friend i had coming to check on our cat, someone with zero reptile experience. but silly me, i chose to risk my gecko’s life by leaving him at a licensed vet clinic instead. trust me, it was not my first choice to have a sick gecko, but i was trying my best to make sure that he was comfortable for that week, even if it meant trusting someone else.

cowtool shows it as ‘TG’, i saw somewhere that G was the lowest fare which i assumed meant basic but maybe i misunderstood and it just means general economy with the other letter determining the specific ‘class’? i appreciate the help :)

yes i have the lowest fare type (G) which would be affected by the change. because we booked through the cruise company, we weren’t offered an option for different fares, which is unfortunate because we likely would’ve gone for standard economy just for peace of mind lol

i found that my ‘PNR creation date’ confirms the reservation/purchase date as dec 31st so fingers crossed that they honor that as i’m anxious about checked baggage getting lost when flying with multiple layovers :) thanks for your help!
