    Violent thrashing and hacking???

    Hey all! Toothless has made an incredible recovery! He started looking much better after the sun/improved lights, eating the omnivore powder, and the antibiotics. He is pooping pretty much the same as normal. He is eating his greens and worms (turning his nose up at squash and fruit, lol) and we...

    It powder! The humidity reading showed a sudden humidity spike from 40 to 55 for a few minutes around 4 am. Not sure if it was a glitch on the reader. I moved the reader to a different spot in the tank to watch tonight. We will start removing his food! He often wakes up and eats his salad...

    We do have a ceramic heat lamp! The cool side of his tank hovered around 80-85 last night; got down to 75 F, but bounced back quickly. His humidity averages 35. Had a weird spike to 55 last night, not sure why that would be. No water in the tank. Could be because the sensor was close to his...

    I think being outside and being held are relaxing. He seems to calm down! They gave us a powder that says "omnivore critical care powder" with instructions to mix in water or baby food. It is in a prescription bottle.

    Vet says he has a mouth infection, lung infection, possible impaction, dehydration, and has gone too long without eating. He has plaque build up on the back of his tongue. Vet thinks it is making it uncomfortable to eat and that he is thrashing becaue of that. Toothless seemed really sick again...

    Ah! I hope that isn't it! He doesn't have full access to the house. Only the large main rooms with clean hardwood floors and I always sit in the floor and watch him. I really hope that didn't happen, but I appreciate you pointing out the possibility!

    He's barely been eating. I think he has only eaten 2 pieces of greens in the last few days. Every time I coax him into eating something, he spits it back out. Been going on for several weeks. Do you think digestion could still be involved? Thank you for the help!!
