How did you make out at the vets with him??

Did you listen to the advice about some of the bulbs causing eye issues and change them? The most highly recommended UVB light is the Repti-sun 5.0 long linear tube fluorescent one and the basking bulb most often recommended is a regular incandescent household bulb. Neither of them have been found to cause problems.



You said...I posted a while back saying my panther wouldnt open his eyes. Well he has been getting better"...so does he keep his eyes open all the time now?



You said..."drinking way better, but still not quite as good as i would like, and only when i spray directly onto his mouth"...be careful that you don't get any water into his lungs. The glotis needs to be shut when you put water into their mouths.



You said..."he still hadnt eaten in a month"...this is not good...and you need to take him to the vet if you haven't already.



You said..."is it ok to open his mouth and do that?"...it is if there is no other choice, but you really need to be finding out why he won't eat on his own.



Nothing would pass through his whole intestinal system in two minutes.



You said.."just really seems to be making an amazing comeback and I wanted to make sure he keeps getting better"...in what way??
