He is just laying around with his eyes closed most of the time. When I got him, he was 5 1/2 inches and weighed 7g. When I weighed him on Tuesday, he weighed 22g and was 8 1/2 inches. He all of a sudden stopped eating and I started feeding him a mixture of butternut squash and chicken baby food with calcium w/D3. Today he was just laying around with his eyes closed. I weighed him and he had lost 6g I called the herp vet around here and he said that with him being so weak that it would probably kill him to even take blood He had a BM earlier today before I noticed that he was going downhill and I cleaned it up and threw it away The vet wouldn't even give me critical care to give him NO ONE within 50 miles sells Repti-Boost so I had to order it. I paid more for the shipping than I did for the Repti-Boost and the earliest it will be here is Monday. I am terrified that he won't make it that long! He has a Reptisun 10.0 UVB tube bulb and a 75 watt heat lamp. His temps stay around 107 with a digital thermometer w/probe. He is on tile for substrate and only ate pinhead crickets and Phoenix worms. I have no idea what I've done or what I can do to turn him around until the Repti-Boost gets here. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! The vet said to give him applesauce baby food to get his blood sugar up and he has had 3 baths today. I am so very heartbroken!
