Another update on Dante

[Adinar]

He's still hanging in there for the time being, but I honestly don't think he will last the week. We've got another vet visit for him and now Loki tomorrow. Unfortunetally in my n00bness, I'm convinced Loki was accidentally infected with the parasites even on the other side of the 20 gallon that is seperated. So we will see what's up. As for Dante, he's still looking weight, is still being handfed, and soaking in gatorade after feeding. He's also going to be taking his second dose of Panacur tomorrow as well.

Sorry to hear that.......How old is he?....Is he walking around really slow and keeping his eyes closed a lot?...

Dant'e between 3-4 months old. And tonight I've noticed him walking slow and keeping his eyes shut. I just put him in his gatorade soak and looked away for a moment and found him floating on his side. I honestly thought he died. I even picked him up and he didn't move. Put him back down, then picked him back up and he started thrashing.

Sadly, I don't think he is going to last the night.

Awe thats sad......The last about 5-6 days that my little one was alive he had his eyes shut a lot, he would walk really slow and he would lay on the cold side of his tank by his water dish....He would lay really weird too...sometimes he would lay with one or both of his arms back...I could definitely tell he was gonna die.... Is yours acting anything like that?...

Well since Obi passed, he's been hanging out in the moist hide alot. Doesn't really sleep all that weird, just kinda lays around. I have noticed that his energy level wanes now and then. Then again, sleeping in weird positions is kind of a normal thing. Before Loki started acting odd, I'd find her in all kinds of positions. lol. But my absolute favorite would have to be with both arms back with her head in her calcium dish.

How is he doing?....

Still the same, he made it thru the night and the second dose of Panacur. He did, however, have another episode last night when I went to give him his soak. He did a barrel roll in the water and went still again. I scooped him out and shook him a little while rubbing his back, after a minute or so he snapped out of it.

Weird, def weird.
