sick uro??

Crystall Jun 23, 2003 02:08 PM

Hi,

I have a male Mali uromastyx that I bought about 3 months ago.
He was doing fine, and I treated him for parasites. But now, he is really sluggish, and only wants to sleep all day.
He is eating, but not as much as normal, and he keeps his eyes closed most of the day.
Anyone have any suggestions?? Maybe not enough calcium?
I dunno what to do..I dont want to lose him.

Thank you,
Crystal Light

You do not give enough information to answer this question.

Against what parasites have you treated him and with what medicine?
How did you know that he had parasites? By a faeces-examination by a vet?

That is what I would do, a faeces-examination by a vet, so you can see if all the parasites are killed.

Good luck with you uro.

Med's can kill their beneficial bacteria.If you haven't you need to replace it with NutriBac or BeneBac.My vet had some.I don't know if it's at pet stores.Good luck!
