RE: Home remedies for your pets
Well, that kind of depends on what you mean by home remedies. There are many things, especially with reptiles, that I will do myself, instead of going to the vet. Almost all of the medications a vet will give you are readily available. And, I'm really not trying to sound conceited, but there are three vets near me that I know of, that actually know more about general and specific reptile health issues than I do. The main need for a vet in most cases is lab work/blood tests/fecal exams, etc. So I know what I am actually treating in certain situations.

I do use what you could call home remedies I guess, as well. It would be an extremely rare case that I would ever take a reptile to a vet because of impaction, which can be a common problem.

All that said, there are certainly instances where a vets treatment cannot be replaced most times. Personally, I think the most important thing is being your, and your animals, own advocate, and having the knowledge, and eventually experience, to know when its a problem you can deal with, and when you need veterinary treatment.
