If he doesn't go before you take him try and get some unsweetened applesauce in him-- or prunes- it takes a lot out of them to go to the bathroom- maybe syringe feed him some water little at a time-- see if that helps push it along-- but do not let the vet do an enama -- especially that weak

AHBD":8kasqdri said:It's still a possibility because they don't all have identical symptoms. Your baby has some of the symptoms but not the severe neurological ones, just the slight head trembling . That can be caused by low calcium or possible vitamin deficiency but he's getting the supplement + proper uvb so I don't think it's those. ADV seems most likely but it's still a guess. Hopefully something can be done. I feel really bad for you, trying so hard and the baby has really been hanging in there. BTW, what is that dark patch on his head, just shed ?

I tried to save one she was a rehome/ rescue it turned out and she was starved to death --- anyway --- I hear you --- it is so sad to see them fight for so long and in the end lose-- or give up--please keep us posted on the vet visit --- are you going to the same vet or different one? You need someone who is experienced ---- here is a website in case you need it www.https://arav.org/
