I am taking Rocko(Rhino Iggy)to the specialist tommorow at 9AM~ He doesn't show any improvement from the watershots,calcium shot and antibiotics my local vet gave him yesterday. He is still very lethargic and does not move about at all. I tried to get him in today but the vet is out and the other specialist is away on vacation!ahhhh!!I live out on the stix~so very its a few hours away~ I cried all the way home from the vets yesterday~ I just don't know what else to do for him~ Plus its driving me mad trying to figure out what is wrong with him??? He is on newspaper as substrate~ Has a hide hole~ gets fresh water and all the right greens and a wide variety of veggies and a small amount of fruit~ Plus a supplement once a week~ His cage temps stay 75 to 80 at night and his basking spot gets right around 90 to 95 in the day~ The only thing i can figure is maybe he is compacted?? He has not gone to the bathroom in 3 days~ Very uncommon for him~ As he always goes once or twice a day~ and eats like crazy!~ I do have long hair and am always shedding(worse than a cat) So maybe he got some hair in his mouth??? He couldn't have gotten anything else as when i take him out i never let him run around the house as he is to small and quick~ HE is around 7 months old~ Here is a pic of him just a month ago!~ I can't believe how fast he went from good to bad!~ If anyone has any idea's on what it could be??? Thanks in advance~
