Update:
I just got home from work and found him with his mouth open sort of heaving like he was trying to throw up. I got him out and he was half stiff half floppy but still breathing. I felt something in his belly that was hard and I've never felt it before today. He also looks so much thinner than he did even just this morning.
I tried putting some water on his nose and let it drip into his mouth but he didn't respond. I used the syringe to put a few drops in his mouth. I can't tell if he took it or not but it didn't come back out so...I don't know.
When I picked him back up, his legs started shaking and then he stopped moving all together. I put him on a warm towel in his viv. He is laying now with his eyes mostly shut and his mouth slightly open.
He is still breathing, but not often. Maybe 1 or 2 times a minute. And each time he breaths his sides heave in and then out with great effort. I fear I may be watching him take his last breaths.
It sucks even more because I have an intense phobia of dead things and I really want to hold him and pet him and show him that I am here but I'm so afraid to. I'm literally shaking so hard trying to stroke his head and back.
I don't know what else to do, if there is even anything I can do.
