Extremely dehyrdated panther, nothing is working - help!!

I am starting to wonder if perhaps we have an eye problem? Anyone's thoughts?

Probably not, based on the previous discussion. Its good that he is TRYING to eat! Aiming and shooting at prey takes coordination, good muscle tone, and energy which are all affected by his overall condition. Nutrition is key. Correct this, get some testing done by the vet, and then we can go from there.

Just waiting to hear what the vet tells you! I will be hoping for the best!

Thank you both! I have the appt. set for Monday so fingers crossed until then! Got crickets and gut loading them now. Just keeping him calm and stress free as possible right now.

Here is my guy as of last night. I feel his color is coming back. He has his eyes closed a lot of the time but I can see his eyes moving around in the socket, but he keeps them closed a lot. He has a strong grip still and is eating and drinking! Do you guys think he has improved since the first photo? Monday's vet visit can't come soon enough! I remain hopeful still.
