Flap neck help :/

[Mawtyplant]

Hello,
I decide to adopt this little guy (or girl)

any idea too help him? (now in a 18x18x18 screan terrarium, 25-35 degres, a dripper. I give carnivore care and i try to force feed with silk worm. The urate is yellow.. like flashy yellow)

I'm not saying it is impossible, but if it makes the night I'll be shocked.

My advice, just hydrate right now. If you do give carnivore care, administer it in very very small amounts. A large dose will shock the system. I hate to be negative, but I just don't want you to hold your breath on this one.

Where did you get him? That cham is really really bad shape. I would try showering him. I am surprised he has urate at all. He needs to go to vet to.

Oh please keep us updated. I'll hold good thoughts for the little guy

I do not know about the pedialyte. You don't want to move to fast with him and shock his system. Over doing with a starving animal can be very bad.

Dilute the Pedialyte with water, maybe half strength. Small amounts as often as you can. Offer it, don't force it. The Pedialyte can improve his electrolyte balance and give a bit of dextrose for energy. Might keep him going more than plain water would. But I agree, pushing too much too quickly is going to shock him. He may be too far into organ failure to save, so don't expect a miracle. Poor thing!

Thanks, im gonna try too slow down too prevent any damage. in fact i expect a miracle :/ but i stay realistic too..

Best of luck to you. Its better to try then just say he is to far gone and leave him, in my opinion.

i totally agree.. he is at home for 48 hours now.. i think he look a bit better.. im gonna post some update soon

 

[Virgil1972]

The biggest thing I can stress is try not to get to excited if he starts to improve and then start moving fast. Starving animals can easily be shocked and die.

 

[Mawtyplant]

sorry.. he past out this morning

 

[Duma]

I'm so sorry to hear this.

My sympathies man, You did your best and that's what counts. Sometimes that's all you can do. You Should call a humane society if that person owns any other pets. He deserves bad things for that one
