i woke up this morming and he was laying there stiff as a board with his tounge out so i held him sprayed him down, 45 mins late he is moving his front left and 2 back arms the front right no movemnt at all

i cant stop crying bc i love this little guy with most of my heat(have to give some heat to family friend and othere herps)

i was sitting with the feamle and i think she nows that he aint so good so she just layed next to me and looked at him y i cryed my heart out

he still didnt eat anything

any commets would help anything would help

thank you all for reading and if it is not to much to ask can you please say a prayer for harry my bd

thanks you so much

i lovbe the little guy

i love you harry please dont leave me or your girlfriend

How long has Harry been sick, has be been to a vet? He's not in good shape, evidentally...and vet needs to see him! If there's nothing the vet can do, than he can humanely euthanize him so he's no longer in pain. Right now, it sounds like your keeping him alive for yourself, he's not doing well, if he cant move, something is wrong. Its very selfish to keep him alive if you know he wont be able to pull through. Do whats right, take Harry to a vet, see if something CAN be done, if not...you will be faced with euthanizing him, which will end his suffering. My thoughts & prayers are with you both during this difficult time...but think of Harry, do whats right for him.

**Just a note**I have not been keeping up with this, if there's anything I missed in a prior post, I apologize!

he has been to the vet 2 times in 2 days, he was gave a a liquid to take out the paristes, and today he got a food thing to give him some food, he can move his 3 arms but one he cant move, it seems like he is getting a little better(like 5%) he is trying to move, he is looking around, he still hasnt been eating anything,

i want what is best for him but i want to see if he can get better, bc i really really dont wana lose him, bc i will be a wreck i cant stop thingking about him, im trying to do everything i can,

thanks for you help

It will likely take some time so hang in there. Did you separate them as suggested in earlier thread? What did the vet tell you to expect re: recovery? I haven't been on this forum for too long so don't know the whole history except for your more recent posts (right before the vet visit). Have you had him long or did you get him recently. I ask, wondering the source of the parasites. I have no experience with them (thank goodness) but know others who have with different herps.

At some point you might want to get the book:
Understanding Reptile Parasites: A Basic Manual for Herpetoculturists & Veterinarians (Herpetocultural Library)
by Roger Klingenberg

I think it should be in the library of anyone who keeps herps and is very inexpensive.

Best of luck!
