Ok first ...I know it is highly unlikely that she is actually brumation but we have ruled out everything else I can think of and is why I’m here. Long lead up to our trouble but I want to give as much information as possible.
About 2.5 weeks ago my usually voracious eating and routinely pooping dragon stopped pooping. She went about 4 day without pooping then when she finally did she had a large hard urate (1/2 in diameter) in her poop. She then proceeded to eat fine but still wouldn’t poop for another 5 days. That was the Thursday before last. Then she started to stop eating as well. We were giving her 2 daily soaks and tummy massages during this time as well. We too her to the vet and she had to give her fluids and an enema. She went on a soft diet with a little mineral oil for a few days after thy but still wouldn’t poop until Wednesday of this week (4 days ago). We took her pack to the vet on Wednesday and she pooped without assistance. They did a fecal test and it came back clear of any and all parasites. She will barely eat now (3-5 BSFL and a small bit of greens) only in the morning and will immediately go into her hide and put her head down with her eyes open. She NEVER used to go into her hide. If I take her out she seems happy and alert. She seems more alert in the morning.
Here is the basic information:
Gamera (BD) is 7 months old, 17.5” and 305grams
Tank does not have any loose substrate
Basking temp is 100
Cool temp is 84
Under hide temp is 72
Humidity just shot up from 34 to 50 the last day or two but It’s going down
She will not drink water from a syringe
She is getting daily soaks 2 times
No parasites
Not pooping
Barely eating
Refusing to bask
Prefers to be buried under blanket or hide
Prefers to be held or out of tank and then she just snuggles
Darkens colors when under hide
No black beard
Not breathing weirdly and no eye discharge or mouth breathing
Please what else can I try????
