Post Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2014 11:44 pm   PUFFY BODY - organ failure/septicemia?

Hello!

This morning I noticed Dumbork's body is puffy esp. on the "shoulder" area. I'm still at work and will go home for an urgent check up.

Please help me ease my mind on this - is this a sign of septicemia/organ failure? Should I demand a blood test for Dumbork?
Other symptoms - lethargy, excessive basking

Not sure if septicemia but this definitely warrants a vet check/test.

You're right, there's no pinkish area. just bloated parts. is this water retention? Will update you on the vet visit.

I have no idea, hopefully it's not serious. Internal issues are very difficult to diagnose.
