Okay, not sure if you want an update or not but we found a 24 hour weekend vet hospital and they really tried gouging us on the price but in the end got his prolapse back in and added sutures until we can get him to our personal vet for an x-ray to check for impaction. That is most likely the...
I think he just prolapsed!! He's bleeding a fair amount and looks like he's in pain. Since it's the weekend vets are closed and I don't know what to do. This literally just happened five minutes ago
We've tried a lot of different foods on a rotation daily but he just isn't taking any of it. We've tried meats and fruits and dubias. He seemed to like dubias when we first got him but now just looks at them like they're poison
We have upped the basking temp since posting this but still not eating. He only looked like he was losing weight about two days after he stopped eating two weeks ago but since then he hasn't lost any as far as I can tell.
He doesn't hide all day, he comes out and basks literally every day just not eating unfortunately. I have tried hand feeding and tong feeding but he just starts breathing heavy and shows no interest.
Before I start rambling and explaining everything let me run through all the necessary information:
Kind of tegu: Argentine Red
Age: 3 Months
Size: roughly 13~ inches, not sure of weight
Sex: Possible male but too early to tell
How long have I had him?: 7 weeks
Brumate or hibernate?: Too young...
