Ok ive traken him to the vet now 3 times. First because he was being weird and stayed completly clear of the moist hide box during a shed and got some skin in his eye which turned into this whole eye infection thing. i admit it was partly my error because i had bee super buzy with midterms and was just doing the put new water throw in some food thing with all the pets that week. And didnt notice the eye because he's usually basking with his eyes closed during the day. I only noticed wheni had time to pick him up and hang out like 3 days later.
So i took him to the vet and got the eye cleaned out and some cream for the eye. It got better and after he shed and the oily skin came off i put him back in his reg cage after a second re-check.
He seemed to be getting better and i chalked any laztness to the stress of being in a diff tank and travels to the vet. He's not used to so much activity. But a week goes by and he's not eating OR drinking... i have to hold him by the faucet for him to want to drink. So i go back to the vet where they do a fecal (nothing turns up) and give him a vitamin shot to give him a little boost. Another week goes by again thinking okay give him a while and he'll de-stres and eat..well sure enough he's basking as normal and walking around and looks like he's getting better. Eats 3 wax worms... not alot but its a start.
Then last night i am cheking up on him and notice the wax worms pooped out but they look like they havnt even been digested... and i noticed blood on the bottom floor of his hide box.
I have no idea what is going on. Ive had him in the same tank NO major changes for 5 years. Then last moth everything went wrong!
I'm sooo upset. I keep thinking that i missed something that week of midterms and feel really bad. But this is like.. we've tried everything and NOTHINg is making him better.
I have another vet apt today at 2:45... but i was wondering from peple that breed and have owned these specific lizards if youve had anything like this.
Thanks for any help... :"|
