Vet Trip

I took Leo and Drake to the vet today. Leo got a beak trim and a Vitamin A injection to help with his swollen eyes. I have a two week game plan now to help him get back on track. If he's not eating within two weeks, I'll take him back to the vet to be tube fed. 


Drake is still not eating on his own. He sleeps all the time and has lost weight. He breathes through his mouth a lot too. 


Drake stumped Dr Folland on his last visit, and today he tried to repeat the stumping. His eyes are clear, his mouth is clear, his belly was soft. Nothing obviously wrong. He has zero body fat though. 

So they took blood to do basic blood tests to see if anything shows up. We'll start there. 


He is still shedding off the nasty stained sand. 


Blood tests come back tomorrow and we'll go from there. I'll start force feeding him every day instead of weekly to help pack on the calories.
