Hey All,
Been a while since I have needed to post, but unfortunately not back with good news.
My oldest beardie, Koopa, appears to have lost full mobility. Both my boys have been in Brumation down here is Melbourne, so have gotten used to them just lazing about.
For the past 4 or so days Koopa has been laying in one spot, so I let him chill. I went to get him out and unfortunately realized that he can not support his own body weight at the moment. He can still move his limbs, but he appears to be tremendously weak.
I have just changed his UV light in hope this will help, but I am really concerned. He has not really been eating that much over the past few months which is expected (couple of meal worms here and there). And not really eaten any salads whatsoever as he has no real interest in them unfortunately.
I don't believe he is impacted because of the minimal food, and his poops have been very far apart. I have bathed him and given him a good dose of water. Additionally, I have checked all the temps and they are spot on.
Now unfortunately, on an unrelated note... My cat has had a urinary track desease which caused crystalization in his bladder. This caused him to get blocked and was in hospital care for 5 days. The reason why I am bringing this up is because this whole ordeal has cost us $2,000 (i.e completely broke). So taking directly to the vet is a really difficult thing to work around at this point in time.
Can he bounce back from this? Have any of you experienced something similar? How can I help the little bugga recover, if possible?
Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Payne
