Hey guys thanks for all of the input and advice!
I've been using the Repti+Boost, but I like that the Oxbow has more calcium so I ordered a bag of that. It should be here by Monday, we'll see how it goes with that product.
From what I've observed so far, he's spending a lot of time on the cool side, pressed against the back directly under the UVB (Reptisun). So, I think I need to get creative here and figure out some other way to get it over him. While I can't be sure, it does seem like he doesn't like it coming at him from the side. I'll think about how to do this and update.
His tongue looks almost healed, he's off the Albon for a couple of days now. His mobility seems to be improving, as in, he can "scoot" around better, but he still can't seem to articulate his arms very well. Since a few days ago, he hasn't eaten on his own again. I hope permanent damage hasn't been done.
I'm tapped on money until pay day (after all the vet visits, new lights, meds, food alternatives, etc). I think he needs to go to a more specialized vet though. I'm seriously concerned about long-term about paralysis.
I'll keep everyone posted, and thanks so much for all the help and support!!
