Update on sick Juvi

[JennPopper]

We went to the vet, & diagnosis is uncertain since we cant get feca (yet) l. The bloating was all fluid & they drained it off of him.
The vet's best guess for now is rueovirus, or an extreme case of crypto. I'm being optomistic & thinkin its rueo, cause if his liver was failing & causing bloat because of crypto, I think he would have died already due to his size. Plus he is still VERY active, I cant walk in the room without him comin to say hi (so personable!!) And GREAT NEWS he ate 2 baby crickets this afternoon, less then 12 hours past his procedure, (plus the vet said if he will eat on his own, thats good news!!) I have high hopes & prayin for the lesser of 2 evils, at least with rueo. he has a fightin chance.

Glad to hear you've had some improvement. =) Fingers crossed for you!

Make very sure to use aseptic technique so that your others (if you have others) don't become infected.

Also, you should certainly get in touch with the breeder and let him know of the vet's suspicions. If the breeder is running a shoddy operation with sick animals, he may not care, but I would do it anyways.

Glad he's doing better! Fingers crossed he continues to improve!
