CB U. lineatus male is going downhill fast, HELP!!!

[Tamara]

Hi, today when the lights turned on we found our lineatus male on the ground, barely moving when we try to pick him up, he also is very pale color, yesterday everything was fine, he always has been very healty, eating well and been very active during nighttime.
We have him for almost 2 years now and we havent changed anything husbandry wise, so don't think that's causing the problem.

We where thinking it might be some bacterial problem, so we called to our vet and he advised us to give him elektrolytes so we just did, but he doesn't seem to be drinking also, he opened his mouth a little so we where able to get a very little bit in him but we have a very bad feeling about this...
Offcourse today is saturday so we can't take him to the vet as soon as monday now because he isn't home for the weekend, if he still is with us by monday we will take a fecal sample there asap but for now it doesn't seem there's any more we can do.

Any suggestions maybe..?

Doesn't mather anymore , he is gone. Poor fella...

We stil are gonna take him to the vet on monday so he can disect him, as we realy would like to know what was wrong so we can prevent it from happening in the future.

Feel kinda bad there was nothing more we could do to help him though...

I am sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear you lost him. Sudden Uroplatus Death Syndome is a real jerk. No warning, no indications, just funny behavior, just dead the next day. I recommend going captive bred if you hadn't already.

Thanks, he was captive bred, we bought him as a juvenile from a local breeder.
Yes we have heard and read alot about SUDS but it had never happened to us before, hope the visit to the vet turns up something but not sure about that either since their where no symptoms at all.

Will keep you guy's informed...
