I'm still waiting on the fecal and blood test results. Was just told Monday now...... He is 4-6 yrs old. Not sure, got him from a pet store 3+ years ago. 660 grams last weighed, 19 inches. Healthy clean bill of health 6/7 months ago. Started off in a 40 gallon breeder tank. Reptisun tube uvb, halogen bulb for basking, 105 to 107 hot, 85 cool. Paper towel for substrate. Dubia roaches, super worms and the occasional hornworm. Variety of salads offered 2 times a day. Calcium with s3 on Sunday's, vitamin on Tuesday and regular calcium on Thursdays. Got a 4x2x2. Moved him last Thursday 8/1. Ate first 3 days. Got 4 roaches on Sunday. Pooped several times, started getting more loose, runny. Tuesday morning a whole undigested roach came out. Realized he may not be getting h
Warm enough. Hadn't been moving from his basking logs. Moved him back to his 40 gallon as I can adjust the closeness of his basking light in there. Wednesday morning total blackbeard. Lethargic. Took him to emergency vet. Blood work still isnt back.... took fecal in yesterday. Vet won't be back till Monday now. I'm assuming nothing came of it. He is on panacur as he had a nasty bout of pinworms last years so just a precaution. Benabac, and omnicare. Hes "stable" right now. Daily soaks. Syringe feeding food and water. Hes not dropping more weight but I dont believe he is absorbing what he needs. Both head and tail pads are pretty much depleted. Now this happened extremely fast. He digested all but 1 roach. Everything that I've been reading points to the virus. Could the stress of the move and lack of heat that he is used too caused this to flair up? I had cleaned the tank with ammonia water mix and steamed it. Glass doors, the slides. The works. Black bearding on and off since Friday. He did have diarrhea that was mainly urate after the undigested roach and was given fluids at the vet. Xray showed nothing obvious. Had a poo yesterday and today. The color of the omnicare. Loose urate but a decent size. Idk where to go from here as I have to wait so long for the results. Which I'm assuming show nothing wrong. Could it be the virus? If so, what do I do?
