Hi,
I got some bad news from the vet. The swab came back as positive for atadenovirus. She wants me to keep going with the metacam and the anti-coccidia medication. She said it’s a good sign that he’s still eating a lot and that he gained weight (I weigh him on a digital scale every week). His heat bulb is a 150watt now so his basking temp is increased to help support his immune system, and she suggested taking him out for sunlight as much as possible (even though he has a t5 ho for his tank).
I’m hoping for the best since he’s still eating but he’s only a baby so I don’t know how strong his immune system is and if he can fight it off. I’m very sad and scared that I’ll lose him. I love the way he snuggles into my hand and just closes his eyes when I pet his eye ridge or under his chin. He’s still very alert and aware of when I enter the room and he won’t let me out of his line of sight. Please tell me there is hope.
