Sorry for the long post in advance...
I have had my boy since December of 2019. He was a great eater.
Later in the year he stopped eating, so naturally I took him to the vet. His fecal was clean. He was extremely anemic and I was given injections of antibiotics and iron to help his anemia. They could not figure out why he was so anemic. He was tested for everything under the sun and it all came back negative.
While on the shots he did great, he was eating and back to his old self for a few weeks. I took him back for his follow up after both medications were completed. No more anemia and the second fecal was clear. Weeks passed and he stopped eating again. Up to this point all he will take is a syringe smoothie I make him. I have tried every staple bug known to the existence, every staple vegetable and other things they can have and he still will not eat anything. He does drink water if I offer. He basks 95% of the day but is relatively lazy. He’s not lethargic at all. This has been going on for months. I’ve tried and tried and he will not eat and the vets aren’t giving me any answers.
His tank husbandry is to a T. He has a 150w basking bulb as his tank is very very large. (It’s custom I built it.) he also had a UVB/UVA light which is a 10.0 T5. He has several hides to choose from, a hammock and things to keep him busy. His substrate is no adhesive shelf liner. He also was getting Repashy calcium before he stopped eating which is another concern.
I’m at my wits end and very frustrated and out of answers.
Please help me. Anything.
