[QUOTE="pogonavitticeps, post: 2026693, member: 80466"] Yes he has had the squash before, and I remember him really liking it, but it's been over a year since he last had it. Supermarkets rarely carry it, but I went to a farmer's market over the weekend and snagged one. I had another thought! He tried a couple pieces of cherry for the first time on Monday, would that cause an upset stomach? The vet went well yesterday, when I came home to take him, he looked better. Putting weight on his stomach again, more alert and eyes looked normal and not sunken in. The vet had a feel of his stomach and she agreed that he feels tense and painful which is definitely not normal. I explained the throwing up event and his history since then and she thinks his stomach issues could be that the hornworm did some damage to his digestive tract. She also mentioned because of his age, there could also be a tumour or growth in there that's preventing proper digestion. She agreed with me that a blood test and fecal is a good idea to see if there's any clues in there. She also recommended an x-ray to see if can see any obvious growths or damage to his digestive tract. For medications she suggested some pain medication and something that can coat his stomach lining to protect his stomach while he heals. I have forgotten the name of that medication! I haven't heard of it before, but it intrigued me. So after all that, I decided to go ahead with the fecal and blood test and the x-ray. I am hesitate to just jump into medication as it can be hard on dragons and I am hoping for some clues in these tests to move ahead with any medications if he needs. The results for the blood and fecal should come early next week. Unfortunately, their x-ray was being worked on when I was there so they were unable to do it yesterday, I am making another appointment for Saturday to get him x-rayed. I will keep you folks posted!
