OMG - I feel for you & Yoda!
A couple days after I brought Angel home, he pooped out a large latex medical glove, completly intact! And you know his condition! Especially THEN - not good!
Yoda is in excellent health, and the cigarette butt is MUCH smaller than a latex glove, and the butt will get soggy, unlike the glove - I'm confident Yoda will pass it with no problems what-so-ever!
Let us know when it makes its appearance!
Sincerely,
~Nan

Well... Yoda seems fine so far ...however he/she didn't eat as much as he has been yesterday ..mind you he has been pigging out all summer and he is in the middle of a shed .... he is just warming up now ,so we will see what he feels like this morning ..it has been 3 days now and no unusuall behaviour ..Yoda has been pooping normally without any dificulty . I thought maybey I would have seen it pass by now ....but nothing so far.
I will post again after Tub and breakfast....

Well we are out of the tub (submarine sized deposit) no sighn of the butt though ... Pigging out on collards and Dandilion .... Im starting to think ...the butt has broken right down.... I would prefer to see it in one peice ...so I know for a fact it has past through .... I will keep ya up dated....Tomorrow we visit the Vet.. The vet has a new Iggy questionaire ..for me to fill out....to ensure I am providing proper DIET AND HUSBANTRY ....im sure tobacco / fiberglass and paper wont get me any bonus points....

I'm thinking it broke down. In all honesty. But keep looking. But if you don't see it in another week. It's probably broken down.

LOL...oh James. That's to funny! You may be right about the stuff breaking down since it did so easily in water. And it sounds like you may have a pretty good vet if they ask for a questionnaire to be filled out. Good luck...and I bet Yoda will have a clean bill of health...

;D
This will be the first visit to this particular vet, Yoda did have a initial check up a year ago with a diferent vet ,however at that time there was no Herp specialast.. during the emergancy the other night when I made the call to my orriginall vet ..( he openly admitted on the phone at that time he is no Iguana specialast and didnt know what to do)and he quickly called this new woman ...she called back in less than 5 minutes.
so we will meet tomorrow....I will post results of the visit.

It would be a good test. It might really tick her off, too... If she's making you fill out a questionnaire...it seems to me she may know what she's doing. She'll be going through the questionnaire with you and will be answering her own questions if there are ones she feels you have answered wrong. She's giving herself a test for you without even realizing it... ;D

James, waiting to hear about the vet visit. Tell Yoda I said he's a "butt"head for putting you thru all this worry! (I sure have missed your humor! )

Thanks Tesa
I cant wait till we see the vet... I have become a little concerned about his eating ..it has definatly slowed ..he was eating like a pig .. I have noticed a definate slow down ...of course this could be due to the onset of the fall ... however he is still quite alert and absolutely normall otherwise . His color is as bright as ever and he has not become cranky so I dont think he is in any pain at all .
Hopefully I will know more tomorrow after the visit ..
James and Yoda

Hang in there James-
I'm sure he'll be fine. Slow down in eating is probably seasonal change, not a stuck butt.
I'll be thinking about you and Yoda and hope to hear the good news soon....there's a butt in the poop!

;D Yoda had a great visit with HER!!! (im still not convinced) vet is 80% sure Yoda is a Yodette not 100 but 80% As for the butt ,the vet figures the butt has made its way to the SECUM ...(?) i SHOULD HAVE ASKED what a secum is.. She palpateted (massaged) Yodas abdomen apparently this is a good sign that it will pass through in the comming days ..possibly weeks Yoda's weight is 550 grams which is apparently a 5 out of 5 score for Ideal body weight to age. I was told that if the butt dosn't pass in 30 days to come in for another Palpatation... if it does ....see ya next year and Great Job with Yoda ... It was a Good visit James and Yoda
