Eekyo before and after

cafe • 24 September 2011 at 10:04 PM

As you know Eekyo, my lizard, stopped eating for two weeks.

Maybe three now, it should be three if I'm adding these few days.

Well, here's before he stopped eating

Here's now

Ouch

//Anoles turn between green and brown, it is the same lizard//

I have been coaxing him to eat
Yesterday I got him to eat three tiny crickets
Today two
Imma try for two a day, to build up his strength.

I hope it's not too late >3<

The internet might help! XD Or surround him in food. OwO I hate animals starving and sick... My precious hamster had no teeth, and died...

Put a bunch of crickets in the cage, and keep one or two alive, so it seems fun to eat.

fate • 25 September 2011 at 2:06 AM

Ohmigosh.
I love lizards.
Hmm, try putting two crickets in every few hours?
O___O

ladybugheart • 25 September 2011 at 2:09 AM

Oh no. D: Poor lizard!
I hope he gets better.

Why not take him to a vet o.o?? I would not wait it out any longer.

cafe • 25 September 2011 at 2:51 PM

@gvantsa

No vets in my area will take him
He's too small, they said

Deleted • 25 September 2011 at 2:58 PM

Aw. Annoying vets. Why dont you say 😱H NO YOUR TO SMALL TO GO TO THIS DOCTORS YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING #$*@^!!!" XDD

cafe • 25 September 2011 at 3:01 PM

Guys, I'm getting him to eat XD
He refuses to eat [So the crickets infront of him won't work] but I've been coaxing him to eat.

Deleted • 25 September 2011 at 3:02 PM

@Cafe still you should do that to them ;D

cafe • 25 September 2011 at 3:03 PM

@bluegirl80

Yeah

And get kicked out and not allowed to take my other pets XD
No thanks
xD

@Cafe XDDDDD

@cafe has he been.... "Regular"? He may have a blockage or something.... Hope he gets his strength back, my teacher's son's lizard did the same exact thing, refused to eat☹️ Sadly, the lizard passed away because he wouldnt eat T.T

dionaea • 25 September 2011 at 3:08 PM

O.o That doesn't look good... I hope he gets better, but I guess, whatever may be wrong with him, the best thing to do is just make sure he at least eats something so he doesn't die of starvation o.o

cafe • 25 September 2011 at 3:09 PM

@icicle_9510

I'll check his.. bowel movements
How would I help him if it's a blockage?

Deleted • 25 September 2011 at 3:10 PM

@cafe I don't know O_O I don't own a lizard....uhhhhh----what food can you give a lizard that's loaded with fiber? Anything with fiber that a lizard can eat might help him if that's the case;)

lizardfeather • 25 September 2011 at 3:12 PM

@cafe have you tried calling any exotic pet vets? >.< And just DON'T surround him in crickets because they will eat him...

Deleted • 25 September 2011 at 3:14 PM

@cafe it could also be a lizard illness that's going around...i'll go google common lizard disease....

cafe • 25 September 2011 at 3:15 PM

@lizardfeather

I'm not
I'm hand feeding
They're kept seperate

When he was healthy, never kept more then two in his cage. And threw a potato in there for them to eat.


We don't have any x.x
The nearest exotic exotic pet vet, is an hour away
I can see me taking my cockatoo there, but I don't think my mom will allow an hour trip over a tiny lizard

Deleted • 25 September 2011 at 3:23 PM

@cafe *gasps* i found a veterinary website that's got some stuff that may be the case!😋 Lemme post some stuff on feeding...

//Edit//Gah, it's too long to post XP

@cafe Yea I know but some people above were saying you should 😋 But have you tried begging to go to the exotic pet vet? 😋 I mean it's family, you know?

cafe • 25 September 2011 at 3:48 PM

@lizardfeather

I know
But I also dont want to take that chance.
He's so week, the stress of driving a hour might kill him.

gvantsa • 25 September 2011 at 5:14 PM

Wow what kind of vets are they?? Turning away an animal for size is just cruel. It's ill! Size should not matter.

lizardfeather • 25 September 2011 at 5:57 PM

@gvantsa well the argument is that the vet will do more damage than good because the instruments might end up killing them. It's like a specialization to do small pets, its not just cruelty.

@cafe Hmmm well if it gets worse you might want to try driving him...
