Thank you for your advice, i did just that and the stool sample came back negative for parasites.
This led me to develop another theory-- he was dehydrated for a week, started eating his umbrella plant (parts of leaves missing), and is constipated as he is straining and whatever he does poop...
yeah i just remember when my green tree monitor injured his tongue while eating a dubia (just a guess), but from worrying i took him to a vet and did all this stuff that racked up the bill to $300.. in the end everything was okay he was parasite free etc etc vet couldnt find anything, and a week...
ouch :) soon you'll be spending more on their food (if not already)
how long, on average, is recovery from dehydration? I want to rule it out at some point, i think i can soon as hes not getting better :/
yeah im in grad school and on a tight budget, with vet bills etc im just gonna order 20 silk worms for like $20 shipped or so, feed em to my monitor too :P
thats true about feeder, ill keep it in mind. they never really liked it anyway and always went for fruits + veggies. i did try the worm thing (well superworms for now) and he just looks at them. Any way to instigate a feeding response? i really need a fecal sample as well :(
yep fecal is next on the list, if i can actually find any of his feces...
i gutload with veggies + rodent feed. i have only really fed him crickets in past couple of months, before that dubia and crickets. he has never shown any interest in any type of a worm sadly, would appreciate some...
Hi,
my male panther is sick :( i may have been the guilty party...
about a week ago i all of a sudden noticed his listlessness and sunken eyes, after which i became extremely worried and began treatments of long showers, pedialyte baths, natural sunlight etc
