Long story short, my lovely 7-year-old Leo got sick at the start of September. He ended up with quite sore eyes that he wouldn't open for long, and a lymph node infection.
He had antibiotics and painkillers every other day throughout September. He was 90g when we went to the vet on 1st Sept. He did not enjoy antibiotics (he's had them once before and hated them just as much that time).
He's been off antibiotics since the start of October. He's much more active now, and his eyes are open all the time again. His infection appears to have completely cleared up. He hasn't eaten since the start of this, though.
Two weeks ago, he was 88g. Yesterday he was 86g. He's not interested in anything...he ignores crickets, waxworms, mealworms. I've tried critical care, about 20ml twice, but he hates that too.
At the start of the week, I bought a red basking light incase the air temp was getting a bit low on his hot side. Floor temp is around 32 degrees. I'm not sure he likes the light...he tends to spend longer on his cold side if it's on, he even slept in his cold house last night.
I've got turkey babyfood but I can see him turning his nose up at that.
The vet isn't keen on admitting him, because she thinks he is happier with me. He's usually very tame and friendly, and she thinks being at the vets may stress him out a lot.
Any advice on what I can do? I'm so worried about him.
