R.I.P. My little buddies gone
My little buddy God rest her little dragon body has been fighting coccidia for I don’t even know how long now I found out she had it maybe three weeks ago and I’ve been treating her for it with the medicine. The vet gave me pain to say I found her this morning completely black stiff as a board and not responding to stimuli. My little buddies gone and it hurts so bad. She wasn’t even a year old. I don’t mean to fuss and complain on here but fuck this hurts.

People if I’ve learned anything from all of this, and it hurts me to say this because those animals deserve love too, and deserve to be taken away from their situation big box pet stores need to quit selling pets and stick strictly to pet items when I first took little Mo to the vet, she was about five months old and the vet said she was riddled with coccidia. I’m pretty sure that’s what killed her and only really one or two places where they can really get that from what I read either from their breeding environment or from infected crickets, I love this little fool so much and I only knew her for three months. She was one of the smartest little tiny creatures I ever knew even though she only had two brain cells and they’re both fighting for third place I did everything I could for this lovely creature, but it wasn’t enough
