Hi Everyone!
Hopefully you guys can help me out with this:
Ryu was treated for parasites about 4 months ago and made a full recovery and was back to his normal self, but 2 weeks ago he was extremely lethargic and hiding in his cave and no appetite. After taking his poop in to be tested the results came back as a bacterial infection. The vet didn't give me a name of the infection just some medication for him to take for 10 days.
Well it has been 10 days and Ryu hasn't changed much. He pooped this morning and his poop was very dark and his Urate was rock solid. Would the cause of his hard urate be the infection, or maybe the medicine that he is on?
I give him baths every other day and he still drinks water when it is poured over his nose, and since he isn't eating solid food I have been making him smoothies which consist of dandelion greens, water, mangoes, and a little calcium powder, all blended together which he will drink out of a syringe. The name of the medication he is taking is Metronidazole.
It's Sunday so the vet is closed today, so I thought I should just post to ask.
Also we found out that the pet store has been selling infected crickets, so I will now only order crickets online.
Thanks for any help!!
