[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2020903, member: 31715"] Hi there, It's clear based on the recent pictures that your boy has taken a turn for the worse. The lack of fat stores on the head and base of the tail are indicative of him either not eating at all for months, or from organ failure. Blood tests would be the only thing worth getting done in my opinion, because it would at least give you an answer to if anything is treatable/reversible. If he is being semi-active, moving around, not black bearding, then he likely isn't in TOO much discomfort, but he obviously is in some. If this is the case, I'd say ethically you have some time on your side for testing if that's the route you want to go. If, on the other hand, he is obviously in pain, not moving, black bearding, and it's obvious that he is suffering to you, then all the testing in the world is just going to prolong that. It's a hard decision, and it never gets easier. Whatever you pick, you'll have people here to help you out along the way. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
