Overall he looks good in that photo. I would lean towards maybe he strained his tongue Jan and help him with his feeders by putting it up to his face. If he takes it then you know its tongue issue and not something else. Stool looked ok?

Hey Jann, any update on Coop? I hope he has started eating on his own again. Also, hope you have recovered well .

Thank you all so much for your concerns for my Cooper. I love him so much and was feeling much better about his progress until yesterday and he started closing his left eye so now I'm worried about that. I'm thinking it might just be something in it. This morning I gave him a 30 minute misting with cool water in his outside enclosure. I saw him washing out his eye several times and will keep a close eye on it today. Other than the eye he has been looking really good and being fairly active for him. I'll get some new photos of him soon so you guys can see how good he looks. He takes his meds really well for me and I no longer have to make him open his mouth. When he sees the syring he knows what's going on and with a bit of time he will open enough for me to get the tip of the syring in. For the past few days while he's smacking after his meds, I've stuck a silkworm in his mouth and he had readily taken the silkworm each time. Each time he takes meds I always drip him nose with some water and he will also drink each time. I also see him drink from his dripper outside.

Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. I'll keep you posted on his progress.
