Hi guys, I just want to give a brief update about Sergio. Even if he was able to 'awake' from the shutdown for a few hours, the next day in the morning I had to face the same issue. Both eyes closed, and no movement even after 2 hours after the lamps had turned on. I was so panicked I brought...
Thanks for all of this info! Let me answer and add extra questions for your comments:
Gutloading: Thanks for this image, it seems useful. I usually just give some leftover veggies or fruits, but I'll use this table in the future.
Multivitamin: Unfortunately I can't buy this product in Hungary...
Thanks you! So you advise getting rid off the unknown vitamin and buy a specific brand instead? Btw an update: he was finally awake from "shutdown", already pooped and drank a bit of water!! Only one of his eyes is open but moving around and exploring.
Thank you, I'll consider how could I apply these changes asap. But anyway this closed eyes issue is so fresh, and strongly connected to the stress he had during these trips to vet back and forth. Every weeks. Will he just start open his eyes and going to eat/dring by itself?

Hi Beman! This is not necessarry, I’ve already discussed the husbandry related things with professional vets. My issue is that I don’t understand why is this behaviour happening right now. Is it can be caused by the stress from the vet examination/threatment? Or the medicine he got from vet?
Yes, I do that. Our problem is now that he currently doesn't eat, doesn't drink, doesn't poop, doesn't do anything just sitting with his eyes closed. I'm attaching a picture.
Hi Mitcchar, thanks for the answer! I reviewed the husband with two vets before, and we fixed and set everything. I know that napping is a very bad sign, and I'm sure that it has to be some connection to the multitude of treatments, or the vitamin-A he got yesterday. I just don't know what to do...
Hi guys! I posted 2 months ago about Sergio and his issue with one of his eyes. I'd like to share our story with vets and about his illness, also I have a question at the end.
2 months ago I noticed that some kind of jelly-ish thing was in front of his right eye. Now I know, it was a drop of...

Hey guys! Lately, Sergio has been blinking a lot, and today I discovered that his right eye is a little swollen and seems to be opalescent. I think he can't see properly because he always gets nervous about my phone's camera, but he doesn't even bother about it now. Any idea what this could be...
You might be right, when I tried to move the piece with q-tip it was able to move it, but I have no idea how to 'force' him to open his mouth. When I put the q-tip too close to his mouth, he tries to bite it :D
