Hi everyone,
I have a female bd. Her name is Lola and she is about 9-10 months old. Until september, she was eating fine. Then she began to eat less and less. I changed her diet from crickets to mealworms, butterworms, and waxworms. She stopped eating everything but the waxworms..at this point i took her to the vet. they did blood work and x-ray. she had liquid in her stomach and her calcium was a little high. they gave me a laxative and after a few days she pooped. two weeks later, no poop. took her to another vet. got a stronger laxative. she pooped then the same no poop for two weeks. call vet again. gave her the laxative again and she pooped after a few days. Right now, she is only eating 8 waxworms and i puree veggies and have to force feed her. I am at a lost..will she ever eat normally again? She does not look sick and her weight seems stable..this is my first bd and i was so happy, now i am so worried..does anyone have any suggestions?
