Our male Veiled Scales took a turn for the worse. It happened so fast. Started with decreased appetite then moved to lack of drinking. Began trying to force feed Oxbow and small amounts of water. Tried showering and could not get a drinking response. Last night we fed and hydrated and saw some improvement in alertness. This morning my wife got him out to feed again and he held out long enough to see her one more time.
I keep racking my brain to find out what I did wrong but I just can't. We impulse bought him at Petsmart and nursed him through illness early on and continued to grow and seemed very healthy, He was a very friendly Veiled. He almost begged for our attention and loved to be handled.
Sorry to post this but I have to share my sadness. Going to leave the house for a bit and clear my mind.
