My friend who owns a pet store has not done what it should. It hasn't eaten for 3 days and has been lethargic. And know one has given it and calcium for 3 months. I added a basking light and gave it a syringe of water with some calcium in it. what can I do? I think he is about 5 years old.

You need to try your best to get him to a vet ASAP. Until you can get to a vet I would make sure to keep it humid and spray the cage down often. It doesn't look like there are many leaves for it to drink off of and its eyes are very sunken... I hope he makes it through the night

He made it through the night and I misted it every hour last night until 10pm
And I am happy to say we are at the vet this very moment so hopefully I can save it

He looks very dehydrated if you look at the eyes. However parasites can give the same effect

I do not understand the story very well, but anyway I am sending good vibes for your guy.

The next 24 hours are critical, we are tube feeding him a supplement and seeing if that helps. It was as I thought calcium deficient and that causes the dehydration and the other issues. will keep everyone posted.

I"ve never seen a veiled those colors. He may rally for a while but if there's severe organ failure he may not make it. His kidneys could be permanently damaged. All you can do is try. BTW, calcium deficiencies do not cause dehydration.

 

[JGuinan007]

I hope he(it) makes a full recovery but at 5 years old to be in that condition I don't see him making it and if he does he will have a lot more issues for the short time he has left it might be more humane to have the vet put him down than have him suffer the rest of his days

 

[MSMorgan]

Glad to se you got him there. Let's wait and see.

 

[JGuinan007]

Is he doing better?

 

[Michael Costanza]

Is he doing better?

no he died at the vets. they gave him a shoot of calcium and was feeding him a supplement, but he was to far gone. thank you for asking. But because of it I am not giving my baby jackson to the friend that has the pet store since they dont know what they are doing. I will find homes for them another way.

What a shame! Kudos to you for trying! Poor little guy having to die like that at that age! Hope you find better homes for your little ones.
