Message: [QUOTE="aparadoxinflux, post: 1973418, member: 111983"] Yeah honestly I feel totally confused and anxious and I have no idea what to do, and if there is indeed something wrong with him I don’t want to just…let it keep happening. I don’t know why my vet is so against the dewormer to try, especially if he’s been this lethargic for so longer and her answer isn’t “well then it’s probably brumation!”. What is your advice— should I push her for the deworming and see? What risks ARE there from doing a round of the fenbenzadole? Do you see any reason to continue with other diagnostic testing like x-rays and ultrasound before trying deworming treatment? In terms of the sex— yeah I got him at 5 months old and the breeder told me he was definitely male, and based on everything I’ve read and seen I thought so too, but then this vet said he was female when she didn’t see huge pores and said she didn’t see hemipenes (but I think I do see the bulges when I look at his tail)— we even tried with the flashlight but couldn’t see enough to make out? Here’s some photos of him: [img]https://i.imgur.com/UVrjJ5U.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/RbZRNFa.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
