I need your advice.
Piko, my 1 year old Jackson's, has not been eating or pooping for weeks. I took her to the reptile vet last Friday, the 28th, where they found an injured eye, and a tummy full of poop and gas! Ointment was prescribed for the eye, plus warm baths and tummy massage.
She did have a good urates the following Monday, but still not eating. So, I bought some ReptiBoost and tried to give her some, but I have to say I don't think I got much down her, maybe 0.5cc. Then I gave her a warm bath as the long shower hadn't worked the day before.
Move forward to yesterday. I gave her a good warm misting in the morning and she had a good drink. I offered some baby mantis's that had hatched a few days before but they just got the 'stink eye'.
Then I visited friends until around 7 p.m. She was asleep, but there was a good urates and a small poop in the flower pot. Yay! I thought we were over the worst, but I came home today around 1 p.m. to find her asleep outside. I gave her another warm bath and tried some more ReptiBoost, but again, I got very little into her.
She doesn't look that bad honestly. Her colour is good, and her eye seems OK as she is using it.
My personal theory (I know so much after 7 months right LOL!) is that she is out of energy. I plan to take her back to the vet tomorrow or Tuesday if I can get an appointment. I hate to keep stressing her with the food, but I know she needs the calories.
Appreciate any advice you have. Here is the amazing poop with a bit of soil stuck on it!
