OK. I was feeling pretty good this morning but now I'm a bundle of nerves again to the point were my stomach hurts & this post has been written for a while I just needed to get to my e-mail & photobucket & haven't been able to check any posts so I appologize if I'm asking questions that have been answered, I am going to look at posts now before I go to the store. Also, please read my description of the 8th picture because I have a theory of one of the reasons Pilot is SOO much sicker than Blazer. (THANKS!!)
I felt everything was going great. Pilot lifted his head a few times and Blazer seemed to take the syringe from me in a less stressed way.
Well, I fed Pilot the Repta-Aid first. He seemed to be doing much better so I just mixed the pedialyte with it and think I screwed up because I also put a tiny bit of Dragon Dust in it. Within in a few minutes, he had diarreah all over. There was a tiny bit of white in it. Well, since he obviously got NONE of the nutrition from it, my gut told me to give him a little bit more but to only use mostly water and only 1/2 syringes as opposed to the 3 prior before it. I did and I believe he's kept it in.
I also gave Blazer the repta-aid and usually only get a dropper full or even less in him because he gets SO stressed) Well, he managed OK today. He lapped it up and I didn't have to stick it in his mouth!! Hooray Baby!! Well, I went over to the tank to check on them (I now have OCD with them and check on them constantly!) and, much to my dismay, Blazer had diarreah too
It had no white in it. Just a dingy, liquid green.
I need to go to the store and get a probe thermometer today and some stuff to seperate them ( I think I'm going to just get a divider in there and get the extra lights for now instead of a complete 2nd setup for now) but I'm wondering if I need to buy anything else for them because of the loose stools and Pilots obviously too warm or something?? I'm going to go mist them with the FLuker's Vitamin Spray (I know they don't absorb the vitamins but I need to get a water sprayer still) incase Pilot is too hot because he had his mouth opened for a while so I know he's uncomfortable.
I will update this post with pictures that I took, during our routines, before I was a bundle of nerves but I KNOW they have to be getting stronger. Right??I think Pilot looks better. Right?? After I get the pictures on here. Please tell me if it's all in my head and he looks the same. I pray it's not just wishful thinking because both my kids thinks he looks the same.
1st three pics are of blazer. (I think her eyes look so much brighter!! I've found myself calling her bright eyes
2nd three are of Pilot. He's back to just laying there, looking very sick but these pics were nice to take I think after I feed him tonight he'll perk up for a few minutes after again.
7th pic is the tow of them in their home.
8th pic- IMPORTANT I tried to take it but I think it shows up on yesterdays pics better (let me know and I'll find it and re-post it here if anybody wants me to!) but Pilot has some sort black stuff on his head I noticed yesterday while bathing him. I took a wet paper towel and was able to get some of it off except in a couple places. I'm wondering if it is dried blood?? I asked when he ate last and she told me about two week he was given 100 crickets. I don't see any wounds at all but if a 100 crickets were put into a 20 gallon long tank woundn't they bite him??? I'm wondering if his "white" color could be from and internal infection from that??
Thank you for letting me be part of this wonderful community. You are a lifeline for me and my new, sweet babies.
