Mentally Drained
My male tokay is doing worse than ever today. I don't think he will make it the rest of the day. He started having seizures today. I saw him look up and then over his shoulder with his mouth wide open then he rolled on his back and his toes curled up. I picked him up and put him under the heat lamp and he started moving again then crawled off the log but his head hit the ground and he couldn't move again. His eyes are really sunk in today too. When I picked him up again I noticed he seemed kind of bloated and his throat was swollen and puffy he wasn't breathing so I squeezed his chest lightly a few times and he started moving again. I mixed some water with some vitamins and calcium with d3 and tried to give to him orally through a syringe but couldn't get his mouth to open. I have been giving him dusted crickets everyday and as far as I know he has eaten at least one of them a day. I'm heart broken and feel horrible. I tired everything to get him better. I feel its my fault. I don't understand how an animal can look so healthy in a pet store In small enclosure with the wrong temp and humidity then as soon as you get them home they take a turn for the worse. I had to have been doing something wrong.
