Hi there,
I posted in another string about how I had been caring for my daughters beardie (she is too ill herself to do it) and nursing him through a bad infestation of parasites. He's on week 6/7 of force feedings with critical care and baby food. He's been to the vet about 3 times during that period with the last time over concern that his jaw was broken (turned out that he broke 2 teeth). However, they did draw blood to see what else might be going on and though they don't have the full panel back yet there were 2 things that really stuck out according to the vet. One, his blood looked very thin and anemic and two, his glucose was extremely high.
One a good note he doesn't have diarrhea anymore but his poops smell extremely bad, worse than bad!
I'm trying to be patient and wait for the Dr. to call with the full review today but I can't help but be extremely nervous.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Just want to get our guy well!![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
