I took Dreganna to the Vet yesterday where she was given an enema which caused her to promptly poop. There was a urate plug and some undigested food in it. There were not any parasites but the Vet said to give her meds for inflamation of her intestines and used the term protozoal. She's 201 grams in weight. She was prescribed Metronidazole 50 mg/ml, 0.1 cc once a day for five days. Then we are to take two weeks off and then do a second round of five day treatment. He said to wait on using Benebac until both rounds of meds were finished.
This morning I woke to Dreganna having her mouth open and eyes half way closed and she is breathing very shallowly. She won't close her mouth even when I gently touch the underside. She isn't moving. She was underneath her basking ramp with her head on her hammock when her lights came on. I've moved her to the top of her basking platform and she isn't moving at all.
Is she in shock? My hubby doesn't want me to call the Vet because he doesn't think there's anything they can do for her but I'm really scared that she may be dying from this. Is there anything I can do for her? She isn't reacting when I touch her or stroke her back at all.
