Re: Thiamin deficiency video (seizures)

my snake is very picky and i need to feed her a toad, worm, or fish before she will eat any pinkies and even those have to be scented... now that we have so much snow there is no way that i can find worms or toads...

Re: Thiamin deficiency video (seizures)

The danger on Tiamin defiency is the wide varity of symptoms that may occur.
I´ve lost a male by this, the only symptom I can imagine was a little flurry during a few days, than suddenly I found him dead in his enclosure.
From his posture I could see that he died in a seizure.

Just wanted to add that we sometimes call it beriberi when it happens to us.

I never knew that. You learn something new every day.

Re: Thiamin deficiency video (seizures)

I'd forgotten all about Beriberi!! It's prevalent in third world countries-- think I saw a video in school years back about starving kids in Africa with it............although I didn't realise it was the same thing we've been talking about here!

Try injecting the mice with a little bit of the Doc Roy's Vitamin B complex. You can get it at Revival Animal Health

That was what I tried to feed to my girl after she started seizing, but I figure I was too little too late.

Re: Thiamin deficiency video (seizures)

OK... with your encouragement, I have changed the options on my video. You can now rate it, and you can embed it.

You can also leave comments, but I have to approve them before they are public.
