Hi guys,
My little lizard is not well
You can see my last post for my full set up details viewtopic.php?f=6&t=236401
So went to the herp vet on Thursday and all good on the physical exam and checking my husbandry. Left a fecal sample for testing. Results back today say nothing wrong with parasite levels.
So the question now is do we pursue a diagnosis by doing blood tests and a conscious X-ray next (costing £150) or do we go into critical care and tube feeding to see if she improves?
So far this week she has less energy and is eating even less - maybe an insect a day. Since Wednesday we've been on sick dragon schedule with letting her sleep, hand feeding (attempted) and two baths a day - as prescribed by our vet.
So I'd like to know what you think? How long of not eating before I force feed? And do I go for force feeding before we test more or should I just get the test done asap.
I'm trying not to worry but she's just a sleepy flop today so it's hard not to. Trust our vet but it's my choice what path follow now.
Thank Beardie Friends xxx
