- Pet's Name: Amber
- Gender: Female
- Age: 5
- Diseases: Chronic adenovirus infection affecting the liver, causing weakness, poor weight gain, and periodic neurological symptoms
- Prescribed treatment: An easily digestible diet: safe insects in limited amounts, leafy greens, vegetables, calcium and vitamins on a strict schedule, and careful monitoring of weight and appetite. Lifelong isolation from other reptiles, liver-supportive therapy, UVB lighting, stable warmth, regular bloodwork, monitoring of neurological symptoms, and stress reduction
- General Information: Amber was bought as a tiny lizard from a pet store, but she grew weak and often refused food. When the diagnosis was confirmed, her owners became afraid that the infection could threaten other reptiles in the home and left her at the clinic. Amber cannot be given to a new owner: she needs a quarantine terrarium, strict hygiene, and constant monitoring of her liver condition
