The Sons.

as anyone who’s spoken to me since november knows, my little beardie figment is the center of my whole world. i absolutely love him to death.

the past few days, he’s started to make this weird choking noise. i thought it was a one off thing but it’s been happening more and more often. i stayed up all last night to watch him and i plan to do the same tonight but just moments ago he’s had his worst episode yet. he’s swallowing often like he can’t breathe, gagging and choking while making a wheezing noise. ive ordered him some stuff to help in case it’s a respiratory infection like I think it is (ingredients for a slurry, new bulbs for his tank, a che, reptaid, etc). ive ordered about $70 worth of supplies but it’s clear he needs a vet visit. i am going to take him to the animal hospital tomorrow but that’s going to eat away all my money for train/bus fare and textbooks.

if anyone has anything they can spare to help out, it would mean the world to me. i know to some people it may seem like not a big deal but i genuinely can’t live without him and i just want him to be okay.

TLDR: my beardie likely has a respiratory infection and i need to take him to the vet but i am incredibly broke right now because of my increased tuition, bus and train fare, and textbook costs (plus i just registered for the LSAT).

It's been a while since I've had Harley. He was given to me by a student whose parents' friends was headed to jail and needed a place to house the animals. They could not care for the animals either and were terrified of Harley in particular, so they asked if I could take him in.

The images in the first column are from when I first got him- dehydrated and thin.
