I am so sorry to hear this -- if you can get blood work done - it may find the cause for this- I am flagging to Tracie the vet tech on the forumUnfortunate news again, I suppose.
I got a thermometer yes, everything's set up - but that's. Whatever
He's not gaining any weight. Took him a bit to actually poop (he's been pooping bits n pieces of urates... and blood), but he did it today. He's not impacted as far as we're aware. He's slowly getting dehydrated despite drinking water (poor thing pees it all out, I think?). He's refusing to eat. He's getting weaker by the day
We've got another visit at the doc's tomorrow. Vet is suspecting he might have some underlying issues that we failed to catch earlier. I've gotten in contact with somebody who got their beardie from the same breeder and it died after having similar symptoms (pooping blood, refusing to eat) despite having an actually good lamp in their terra from the get-go. This might be our last night together and I'm really sad, but it's fine.
I really wish he'd bounce back. Really. But I can see him getting weaker. He looks like he's suffering. His eyes are getting sunken.
I've done everything I can. But. I have a feeling. I hope a miracle happens, but I just don't see it being possible. The decline has been drastic.
Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it. Sorry I couldn't do more. Thank you. I'll make sure to update this thread or make another post in the memorial subforum if it comes to it
I'm very sorry to hear this I hope the vet can figure it out in time. Your doing everything you can. I hope this experience doesn't turn you off to beardies. They are fantastic pets. If he passes hopefully when your ready you can find a healthy beardie and get to enjoy the good side of keeping them.Unfortunate news again, I suppose.
