This is just standard procedure, don't know why he would not have explained this to
you and set it up.

I think so. Often times the cure makes them feel bad and not want to eat. Make sure to
keep them warmer than usual (a few degrees) and hopefully they will come around. Keep
looking at the poop, hopefully it will firm up and look normal soon.

No problem. I asked UC Davis Vet School for a referral in your area. I did a search on
http://www.vin.com (Veterinary Information Network) and got 67 clinics in that area,
but that is not specific to reptiles. You might call some of those clinics and ask
them for a non-domestic referral.
