I took Toothless to the ER vet (Healthy Looking post has all info) on Saturday. Dr. said extremely dehydrated, gave him some type of liquid (was going to do it via shot, but he's too skinny so gave it orally) and gave critical care for me to give him 4-6 times per day. He weighs only 2grams so the powder totals .05ml per day/mixed with water. Took in stool sample yesterday - only able to run 2 out of 3 tests due to small sample. Has Coccidia and trichomonas. Gave meds. Coccidia med (sulfadimethoxine) = .02ml once daily for 7days. Trich meds (Metronidazole) = .01ml once daily for 7 days. Dr. recommended bathing 2x day. Toothless looks awful! Dark color today, barely moves. Almost flat as a pancake. Can he pull out of this? Any advice on meds? Use soy based yogurt too??
BTW, paper towels in viv for duration. Can't clean rock as we currently have no water due to water main break.
