Thanx for sticking with me through this man :)
Orion seems just a little bit better today, holds his grip a bit better and his eyes are wide open, at least today.
And yes I failed to mention that he took a huuuge dump the first time we went to the vet, mostly white and a little bit brown. We took an xray after that and the lady vet said that his stomach is full and that I should shower him with warm water so it might help him release it. She did not want...
So yeah it turns out the xray doesnt show anything alarming, very very mild MBD, the lungs are ok.
They have no idea what is wrong with him.
He got a vitamin shot today and calcium.
Not looking any better.
:(
Update.
So the nice lady vets at the city zoo took a look at Orion and said he has mild MBD and a respiratory infection. They gave him vitamin injections and done a x-ray that they will look at tomorrow since they had to tend to the lions.
We will start a treatment tomorrow morning.
This was...
Update.
I have been hydrating orion for 2 days, made some bug juice for him since he was not eating. He still seems weak but I think just a little bit better.
The only reptile vet in my country is on vacation for 2 weeks so yeah...
I called my city zoo and the vet there will take a look...
I checked for lumps, nothing. He got a little bit angry.
Gave him a warm misting session, he drinks fine.
And now its his bed time, will continue tomorrow.
I will check for lumps, I dont handle him because he never liked it so I just left him alone, but today he seems like he just doesnt care which is scary.
Obviously i have failed with the nutrition but him being a stubborn eater since he was a baby and striking often i coudnt give him calcium...
Unfortunately where i live there probably wont be any way for him to see a vet, reptiles are quite rare to have as pets here so i guess it is not lucritive.

Hey guys, this morning I found him on the bottom of the cage with what seems to be a sperm plug, he is also shedding heavily the last few days.
He seems unwilling to use his back legs and later today I even saw him with his eyes closed.
Hey guys, I stumbled upon a bunch of these.
Was wondering if it would be safe to feed some to my cham?

Hey guys,
Something strange happened, i picked up some Zophobas and sliced a piece of orange for them, they were happy to eat it and half an hour later they all died!
I dont think they drowned or something like that.
