Just got back From the vet. Sherbert pooped while we were waiting for them to come in so he did a fecal test before he ran the blood work. Sherbert has a high number of Protozoal, they gave antibiotics to take every other day for three weeks. He should start to feel better in a few days.
Thank you! He ate two hornworms this morning. The vet visit is in two hours, and I will show results when we get back. He is looking a lot better since he ate, but is still closing his eyes.
The vet called after I sent a picture and thinks it might be the start of an infection. I was freaking out when I saw him close his eyes but now that he’s moving around and eating some food I feel a lot better.
Thank you all for your support and help ❤️
He ate four dubia roaches!!!! I had to put them in a certain spot, but he ate four!! I have silkworms coming tomorrow, but I wasn’t able to find hornworms, I’ll check tomorrow before once all the stores open. I’m so happy he ate, once he did he got brighter and his eyes started looking better!
Thank you! We really need it. A fly flew in his enclosure and he tried to eat it, it flew away too soon but he is hunting it down right now. I’m going to find a store that has some black soldier flies, or even fruit flies, anything to get him to eat.
I will get some hornworms. He still is moving around and drinking his water. But around 2:00pm he closed his eyes for about 30 minutes. I checked on him and he was climbing around and drinking water. I wish I would have noticed earlier and took his fecal to get tested when he first stoped eating.
Thank you Ghostbirb! I think I'm going to move Arnold (his bearded brother) out of the room to help with stress. We have had a lot of guests over recently and that deffentily won't help. His eyes don't look as sunken right now, and he's opening them again. Sherbert is a strong boy and will do...
Vet appointment is as soon as they open tomorrow. He has had four fecal tests (since in my care, almost two years.) and all have been negative. I ordered Silkworms to see if he will eat those so I can get a fecal sample. I recently got his bugs from a different pet store, so I wonder if he got...
So I have unfortunate news..
A few days ago, sherbert stopped eating. I assumed he was on another hunger strike, but I started to get worried the more he went without eating. Saturday I realized his eyes were a bit sunken in. I started to offer extra water, but quickly realized these two...
