Hello,
I'm sorry he is not feeling well, he does appear to be in distress possibly. If you already
have a vet's appointment, it would be a good idea to get him in. Don't let them overmedicate
him, without just cause! If his kidneys are not doing great, antibiotics will do him in.
The Reptisun 10 T5 tube is a great bulb. I couldn't tell by the picture but how do you have it
mounted?
What are the temperatures in the tank & what types of foods & supplements are you using?
Is he a leatherback?

Hi Tracie,
My UVB sits on top of the tank lid, I just had it moved for the picture. I'd been attempting to feed him superworms and collard greens dusted with calcium (which he never ate). I'm also not sure of his exact morph, but I don't think he's a leatherback. He's kind of scalier than I think those are expected to be, but I could be wrong.
This morning, I brought Kyro to the vet to get him looked at. They said he's so sick that they weren't even able to draw blood from him, which overall means that they weren't able to give me a definitive diagnosis. I feel so awful that I let him go without food for so long, thinking it was just brumation. They gave him a vitamin injection as well as another for
hydration, and sent me home with some hill's urgent care prescription diet and a syringe. I'm supposed to force-feed him twice a day, and they told me to bring him back on Thursday. I don't even know if he's going to make it that long. So sad
