CWD Seems to Be Doing Worse.

Drako is not eating or opening his mouth. All day today he stayed in one place with his eyes closed. He is breathing rather steady and slow. His color still looks good. Any comments?
Thanks,
Marsha

Re: CWD Seems to Be Doing Worse.

It sounds like you need to get him checked out by a reptile vet.
Here are some links for you to be able to find one in your area. Reptile Forums - The HC Network - Reptile Vet Locator

Re: CWD Seems to Be Doing Worse.

You might want to think about a vet rather quickly, too. Once they show signs - especially sounding this bad - they're pretty sick and usually require pretty aggressive treatment to get them back on track.

Re: CWD Seems to Be Doing Worse.

I'm with them, Eye infection...possibly something else? You should have a vet look at him A.S.A.P, don't want to see you lose your little friend.

Re: CWD Seems to Be Doing Worse.

Definitely a vet visit is in order. Keep us posted. Be sure its a vet that specializes in reptiles, not a dog or cat vet.
