Lately Curt has been shedding, and not pooping unless bathed with a belly rub. I gave him a bath yesterday, and a bunch of tiny little red things came out with it. The last few times he's went, he has strained and black bearded.
Today, I gave him a bath to help him shed. I noticed he was straining to poop, so I gave him a few drops of olive oil with an eyedropper. This is where everything went terribly wrong.
HE BIT THE GLASS EYE DROPPER AND SWALLOWED A PIECE OF GLASS. Then he proceeded to poop, and threw up the olive oil along with some half-digested crickets, and stopped breathing and went completely limp. I thought for sure he had died, but he woke up.. he keeps closing his eyes. His entire belly, upper arms, under eyes, and tail tip are pitch black and he is laying here on my leg with his eyes shut, breathing slowly. He won't leave my side, and I'm terrified he's going to die.
His bulbs, temps, and everything else are correct. I don't know what to do for him. He's my boyfriend's pet and he trusts me to take care of him.. I feel like this is my fault and I hate myself. Please help me.
