My Russian, Diego has been looking slightly puffy around his front arms and neck for a couple weeks now. It’s slight so I’ve just been waiting and watching. Not much change. It’s possible it’s mostly in my head but I don’t think so.
So my question is this ; when swelling occurs due to kidney issues does it happen slowly sometimes? All of the old posts I’ve been reading seem to be a sudden swelling and fairly pronounced.
Any opinions on wether I should take a deep breath and keep watching or call the exotics vet?
I’ve been trying to take a photo this morning but he’s all sprawled out and looks fine. It’s only noticeable when he is pulled in slightly.
Here’s the photo I got... just cause he’s cute.
Obviously he’s feeling great... or he’s dead.
