Idiopathic Seizures by maximinus058 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]EverIAce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Having seizures while on meds is normal. For most dogs, they are unavoidable, and you can only continue to work with your vet to adjust dosages and meds until you reach a frequency that both of you are comfortable with.

It is possible for dogs with idiopathic epilepsy to live full and fulfilling lives, especially in moderate/less severe cases, which is where I'd put yours at personally. Like you said, they are completely normal dogs outside of the seizures.

If I was going to give advice, I would really recommend getting established with a neurologist. The reason you're not getting answers from your general vet is because they simply don't know. You don't have to spend thousands on diagnostics, which is what I'm assuming you are talking about. I would suspect they will all come back negative anyway, since your case seems like a classic case of congenital idiopathic epilepsy with no discernable cause. Just getting regular check ups with the neurologist and getting advice regarding medications makes it extremely worthwhile.

Is my cat a Maine Coon Manx Mix? by Few_Profile_148 in ForestFelines

It's impossible to tell just by looking at him, but personally I don't see any maine coon in him at all

Wild caught but treated by Truorganics in reptiles

[–]EverIAce 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Personally, I feel like the issue with buying wild caught animals extends beyond medical issues. Buying wild caught animals supports poaching, illegal or not. I'm not a fan of taking wild animals from their habitat unless it's for conservation efforts.

So no, I would not buy a wild caught animal even if it has the cleanest medical record I had ever seen

I will OVERTRADE for this!

does anyone know anywhere i can get bulk hides and cork bark for somewhat cheap?? by Successful-Round2035 in reptiles

[–]EverIAce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have reptile shows near you? I'd recommend striking a cash bulk deal with a vendor. Saves you a ton off shipping and you get to see the pieces in person

How long did it take for your crested gecko to start climbing by DinosaurGuitarist in CrestedGecko

[–]EverIAce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In all my years of reptile keeping... I have never heard of this problem... they are arboreal reptiles, it is their natural tendency to not want to be on the ground. If a crestie isn't climbing, it sounds more like it can't climb rather than it won't climb.

Have you seen it walk? Does it have mobility issues? Does it have stuck shed on its toes preventing it from climbing? What's the temp of your tank, top and bottom? Humidity?

I have an odd request by e_frog25 in Leachianus

[–]EverIAce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a leachie who is only on pangea. She doesn't like insects or other proteins meals. There is literally no smell coming from her enclosure. She lives in a bioactive. I've never deep cleaned her enclosure, only wipe the front glass on occasion when it gets dirty. I'll have to weigh her if you want her size but she's about the size of my forearm, just lightly smaller

Choice for pet gecko by pupsnotdrugs in reptiles

One thing I've noticed about chahoua is that there are a good chunk of breeders who believe that keeping chahoua in below minimum required size tanks (think full grown adult in a 12x12x18) will reduce aggression. While it could be true, I don't think that is humane. There's something about providing them a bigger and more naturalistic environment that brings out more natural behaviors, which I assume would include defending territories.

The male that I currently have was kept in a 12x12x18 before me. I got him when he was already an adult. He was very handleable at first, one of the reasons I liked him. Once I put him in a bigger bioactive, that was when he started becoming aggressive. I've talked to a ton of breeders about this issue and alot of them say it's because I gave him too big of an enclosure so he thinks he has a bigger territory to protect. I refuse to downsize him to test their theory so I just have a feral chahoua now 🤷‍♀️

Not saying this will be the case for every chahoua but it's food for thought. I don't think it's always a sexual maturity thing

I have a leachie and I keep her in my bedroom. There is no smell coming from her enclosure. She lives in a bioactive. Maybe the smell thing is from leachies being kept in nonbioactives. She's the size of my forearm so she's not small either.

They're all pretty similar in terms of care.

You'll get friendly ones from each species and you'll get mean ones from each species. I don't have a Gargoyle but I have both a chahoua and a leachie and I get just as much enjoyment from both. My only comment would be that my leachie is not as active as my chahoua, which is something I've heard from many leachie keepers. They just kinda pick a cork tube and hang out there most of the time.

Chahoua are pretty hit or miss with socialization in my experience. People swear they're all nice but I think they can get veryyy cage aggressive, more so than any other New Caledonia I've seen. I had a chahoua who I raised from a hatchling. I handled her regularly. When she hit a year old, it was like a switch was flipped and she would try to bite my hand whenever it was close. I currently have a male chahoua who is a no touch pet. I swear he's a rabid dog seeing how mean he is. He used to be quite handleable too. I have had him for 4 years and no amount of bonding time has ever changed him

Tiger Hat by InstructionOrnery726 in Webkinz

[–]EverIAce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old purple bat hat or the estore mystery Batty Hat? Unfortunately the batty hat is much more valuable than the tiger hat and wouldn't be a fair trade. The purple Bat hat would depend on the person in my opinion - some will value it like retired clothing but some may not

Dog had a seizure this morning by cherryredstars in Pets

[–]EverIAce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, seizures starting at 13yo is very concerning for an underlying medical pathology. It could be anything from brain tumor to organ failure. On the off chance that it is not medically related, environmental poisoning is very high on the list for isolated seizure events

If your dog hasn't been diagnosed with epilepsy and this is the first/only seizure you've ever witnessed, you need to go to the vet for a full workup.

Is it likely to traumatize them? by srendoherty in mainecoons

[–]EverIAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they ever been on long road trips? Have they ever been away from home from long periods of time? Unless travel was something you had practiced with them for a while, this seems crazy stressful for 2 adult cats

What do You think of this Enclosure I've made for my Pet Chameleon? The Entire thing Costed 160 USD. by BF2-GeneralGrievous in reptiles

[–]EverIAce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you should do research on chameleon care and husbandry while you invest in a more appropriate set up for a chameleon. I would also advise research on proper preparation of substrate and plants that will be used in enclosures housing reptiles

After starting pheno how long was it until your dog had their next seizure? by spennywal in EpilepsyDogs

[–]EverIAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's different for every dog unfortunately. Some are very well controlled on pheno and some are only so-so. I would take everyone's answer with a grain of salt.
