Puff has a liver problem

I got the results of Puff's blood work a while ago but have not had a chance to update . Puff's liver is not working properly and that is what is causing his lymphatic system to leak fluid,causing the swelling of his arm and under the arm.Dr. Jarchow said that it is not critical at this time but it is an age related problem. My poor Puff ! Dr. J said that I need to make sure that Puff eats more protein (insects) in his diet.Puff usually eats only about 4 or 5 crickets at one meal. I am forcing him to eat more now. I have gotten him to eat up to 8 or 9 crickets. He does not really want any super worms.The swelling is still visible,but I think it has gone down a little bit.Puff must be feeling better as he is much more active these days.I worry about Puff as I don't know how much longer he will live.I try not to worry but I know he is old. Up until this problem surfaced, he was very healthy for his age.I am glad I have Lilo.If I should loose Puff,at least I will still have her to love.I am really hoping that Puff recovers from this problem.I love him so much. I love both of them very much.Puff and Lilo,the Golden Dragons,to be continued.........................
