So I guess I should have mentioned he did take stool and that was fine. He took blood and said his liver enzymes are elevated, but last year when he took blood they were also elevated so we assumed that it could be just hereditary that his liver is abnormal. He actually gained 10grams from last year.
Temperatures are about 95-98 in the basking spot and about 80 in the cooler side. I replaced the reptisun 10.0 recently
<<<< Type of globe (compact, T8 linear , T5 linear) and wattage ?
so that’s not old. He’s 4 years old. Lights on at 6am and off at 6:30 pm - they were always like that, just because I leave to work early so I want to feed and let him run around before that.
<<< try nudging up the photoperiod , I'd go to 6am = ON, 9pm OFF.
The vet is a reptile vet - the only one on my area and has very good reviews. Other vets said that he’s the beta reptile vet.
<<< I'd ask exactly why he wants to try antibiotics.
<<< were any bloodtests done ? or is he shooting in the dark ?
Pictures below, I will be removing the hide, because he keeps on going there when I take him out. I took him outside a few times and as soon as I put him back he runs to his hide.
