Hello guys and girls,
I'm new to this forum and have a serious question already..
My beardie Louis, has some kind of problems... Since.. Maybe a month.
He's 14 years old now, in all those years he was with me, he was just fine, never were sick.
Since a month I guess, he's now eating less. He even denied eating insects.
Sometimes when I help him with eating like holding it in front of him he'll eat and also first look interested.. But only with greens.. Not insects.
He also is a bit weak on his feet, when he tries to climb up a pillow for example, he falls on his back so easy. He doesn't even try to get up, he's waiting for me to get him up and looks at me like a lil sweet sheep.
Now he is even gulping a lot, like when I put him on my chest for example or when he walks around. When he lays down peacefully he doesn't do it. (or only like one or two times)..
We have fed him special food for reptiles with vitamins and give him extra uv. He looks more healthy for sure, he's not so thin anymore. But still those "problems" remain. His poop looks alright and he still poops every day.
I often give him baths and let him drink when he's thirsty, I always check if he is. He drinks enough.
We have checked if he got swollen limps etc. Or soft bones.. It's none of it.
We don't have much money at the moment to effort a vet. I first wanted to hear your experiences and ideas.. Before I need to sell anything of my stuff so we can effort a vet...
PLS don't say anything mean only useful.. I've noticed many ppl were totally disrespectful to me when I talked about this... Well, only on the German forums.. Hope it's not like this here I'm so thankful for your comments.
Also, I wanna say, I'm not a newbie, I have had reptiles since I was a child..
