So my panther seems to be acting weird lately. He eats drinks, deficates just fine however its like he has trouble grasping branches and pulling himself up. Every once in a while hell reach for a branch and fall but manages to grab hold of something last second. Its like his back legs arent as...
Well my luck continues :( This breaks my heart. In 7 days my little buddy went from 100% to his eventual demise :( An internal liver infection did its due on DJ. After my vets opinion, infection that spread from an earlier minor prolapse.

DJ was sedated right away to avoid any discomfort whatsoever. He is in a better place now.

I gave him 2 superworms crunched them down fine i watched him... was fine for a few days but then this came up... I suspected constipation. What did you do to relieve the constipation??
