Cute! The difference in him already is AMAZING!!! He has a little sparkle in his eyes that definately wasn't there before. :love5:

 

[gulfbrzdawn]

Aww! Love the pics!
I think Rocky is looking so good. I'm glad to hear he is holding his head up more. That means he is getting stronger. YAY!!!
Way to go Rocky! You are the MAN!

 

[Sashee]

Yay Rocky!!!!

Yay! I have a beardie that doesn't eat on his own. I have tried EVERYTHING.. but he just won't eat.. So he gets veggie slurries 4x a week, and critical care 1x a week, and he will eat and eat and eat the critical care like there's no tomorrow..

Rocky definately does have a sparkle in his eye.. he looks like he's gaining a bit of weight too!

Hello Morgan,

The bridge above his eyes has risen dramatically! Keep up the great work with him, that is amazing.
It looks like he is starting to feel a lot better now, so hopefully he will continue to get better each day.

The bridge above his eyes has risen dramatically!

That's so true! I had to look back at the pictures to see for myself. What does that mean when that bridge is flat like his was?

This may be a dumb question, but does he walk?

This may be a dumb question, but does he walk?

yes he walks but hes really weak and has no muscle.

i dont know if this is bad news or not.. this morning he was fine but when i walked down a couple hours later he was on his back and he look dead...he has flipped himself over several times today. hes not shaking or anything.. any ideas?

 

[NightmareDisco]

Oh no! I hope that isn't bad news! Poor baby. Send him love from me and Nemesis

Whatever this is, whether an accident or not, it's VERY important that he doesn't get flipped over for too long. A lizard on its back can die very easily, and he's already weak.

I hope he is okay...when is your next vet vist?

 

[TASTIGER]

thursday but ill call later and see what he says

 

[RowenJade]

Can you try rolling up two hand towels and putting them on either side of him? I would think he's too weak to push away the towels too much. If it was an accident that he flipped over at least towels might help prevent it from happening again...

 

[TASTIGER]

ill try that i just dont want him not to be able to thermoregulate
