well.... good news today, yoshi is home after his treatment just have to wait and see how he gets on now, his potasium level is back up and they are pleased with him
im very happy to have him home, he has been eating they had to force feed him to start but he has eaten 2 days in a row on his own now, so its great news. he seems very alert and bright, but i guess it will take a few days to get fully over his treatment
That's GREAT news, makes us all very happy & you must be so relieved. That's wonderful that he has even gained wt already. 8) Did they do bloodwork on him again?
hi, no they havant done anymore bloodwork, but the vet vet was so pleased with him yesterday. he said to just keep an eye on him and see how he goes but he has eaten some mealworms this morning, the vet also thinks the reason his potasium got so low was because he had parasites a few months ago and where he didnt eat due to that he wasnt getting anything inside him.
so hopefully now all will be ok.
I suppose that does make sense that is potassium dropped due to not eating & having parasites. I think I would take it easy on the mealworms though a they don't have much nutritional value and other live food & greens/veggies would help to build him back up quicker. Please keep us updated.
That is great that Yoshi's potassium levels are evening out. When they get sick, their electrolyes really get messed up & that can affect their health & their energy levels.
I am happy he is doing so much better now!
