Hey!
Quick update, we went back to the vet today. We have had a few good and a few bad days, including days where he didn't eat at all. We also noticed his last good leg went early this week which makes movement for him even harder.
The vet gave us some more meds and he also gave us some seringe feed to substitute on days we can't get him to eat, as there was a drop in weight as well as reduced alertness in his behaviour over the last week.
He suggested there might be a chance that he has some more serious issues, possibly connected to his kidneys. There is no evidence for this right now other then some swellings and his decreasing state despite him having substitutes and proper husbandry. They struggled getting blood from him for testing.
Obviously this is not a fast road to recovery but the vet also suggested that we should consider discussing helping him with his struggles if there is no visual improvement within the next three weeks when our next check up is.
After we brought him home he perked up a little and I managed to get him to eat two dubias. As he hadn't had food in days we also gave him some seringe food. I really hope he gets better, we are going to continue trying all we can.
