I'm sorry to say that Alfie passed this morning. Little guy fought really hard. I wish I knew exactly what happened to him. We fell in love with him much more than I thought was possible for a reptile. We will miss him. Thank you all for the advice and support. It helped a lot.

Ok, I'll order one now. Thank you

We don't, but we set up an under tank heater for night time. Do you think a che would be better? I can definitely order one.

Thank you! Yesterday morning when I woke up I thought he was gone, I had to watch him for a while to detect the slightest breath. There was no response or movement at all and he would not open his eyes. He improved slightly through the day and by night he was lifting his head. Today he woke...

Well little guy is still hanging in there! I have a question about temperature. Since he can't move himself from basking/ warm side to cool side to self regulate, what's the best temp to keep the tank. I can move him back and forth throughout the day but I just dont know if I should or how...

Alfie has been really weak the last few hours. Not really responsive at all. I don't think he will make it through the night :(

The one we have us a zoomed under tank heating mat. I do worry about him overheating though because he isn't really moving very much at all.

Thanks for all the advice everone!

We do have a heating pad we're not using so I'll try that.

I don't. Enclosure stays around 70 at night, is that too cold?

OK, that sounds more like what I've been doing. What she said seemed too little. I'm feeling like I went to a not so great vet, though they had hood reviews. For now the repashy, until the ixbow comes. His poops have sometimes been formed sometimes not. They aren't dark, they are the color of...

He weighs only 17 grams.

I'm suringe feeding it. He won't eat on his own. He will lick of his lips sometimes though. She said to feed .5 mls, only every other day. Does that sound right?

She said it looked like there was an infection in his mouth. She didn't offer any further testing except for me to drop off a fecal , which I will. I already ordered the oxbow

Just got back from the vet. She said he weight was ok, but that he was dehydrated. She gave him some fluids and prescribed Fortaz antibiotic injected every three days. She said to only syringe feed every other day and suggested the repashy grub pie, which we already have. She didnt think it was...

Yes, they are a reptile and avian vet.

We have our vet appointment today, poor little guy , no improvement so far. I thought we'd lose him yesterday because he was weak but he still has a little fight left .

Thank you, I'll check that out!

Yes he has been pooping daily.

Not in his own. I'm syringe feeding repashy grub pie. He will lick it off his lips.
