Someone please read this and respond. My Frankie and Rosie were declared free of Coccidia by the vet after quite a battle, however, they never started eating again. It has been weeks now that I have been dropper feeding them carnivore supplement by Oxbow, but now they will not even take that. They have lost incredible amounts of weight.
I have tried waxworms, baby food, discoids, superworms, crickets, greens of all kinds, repti boost. They are getting weaker and just want to be held all the time when I am home.
We are giving them acidophilus, calcium...everything we can. Please help. The vet seems baffled. He checked them for pinworms and they were clear, but he wants to treat them proactively because our smallest one has them. I can't stand the thought of starting them on Panacur when they are don't even have pinworms. They are already so stressed.
The only thing I can find wrong is that we switched the basking bulbs to a different kind and their basking temp is not high enough. It is only 89. This is certainly enough to make them stop eating, isn't it? It is a subject of debate in our house.
I think it needs to be higher, around 102 degrees. Am I right? Please clarify.
