Liver problems
I'm absolutely heart broken, my lovely bearded dragon Ernie is about 6 years old (adopted 2 years ago) and he started having stomach spasms. The vet put it down to him being overweight. 2 weeks later he vomited up his food and he hasn't eaten since. I've been feeding him emeraid by syringe twice a day. He is still basking but very lethargic. I went back to the vets after the vomiting episode and ultrasound showed potential liver and gall bladder abnormalities, I have just had his blood tests back which showed slightly elevated proteins and enzymes related to the liver. The vet has told me to see if he improves on anti nausea medication and if not bring him back in for more tests. I mentioned the weight gain wss only his stomach and asked if it could be fluid build up and the vet said they could drain some of that and see. He has not vomited since but he's still off his normal food.
Is there anything that can help this situation? I'm starting to lose hope. I don't have much confidence that the vet knows exactly what is causing this and I feel helpless. I just want to do the best by my little guy it's just all come along so quick and I'm heartbroken
Any advice would be much appreciated
