Plants - not in this viv - his new viv has ficus.
Placement - up against a corner of my bedroom next to but slightly lower than the window. around 1-2ft off the floor so my cats cant get to him.
Location - UK, England

Current Problem -
He's not eaten properly in around 3 weeks, Hasnt drunk anything in awhile and now he wont even open his eyes, hes really weak and i can see his bones :'( had to force feed him the past week.
he doesnt move very far from the floor maybe one branch off the floor, or he will lay on the floor - on the heat matt.
he squeaks sometimes? he opens his mouth and takes a big breath + looks like he is coughing sometimes? his gullet? ( bit under his chin) will expand as he does this.
 
Yes it was baytril. it has been diluted by the vets for him so i can give him the right amount each day.
should i stop?! what do i do now is he going to die :'( ?
 
Was the baytril to treat the abcess on its head? Was the abcess cleaned out properly and the exudate sent for a culture and sensitivity test?
