When Grif became ill I noticed right away. He was very good eater. He wouldn't wait for his crickets to come to him. He would get out of his burrow and chase them all over his enclosure. When he stopped eating all of a sudden I knew something was up. I quarentined him after about 8 days of no eating. I was going to treat him for chytrid but there were no signs of it. He was lathargic and started losing weight. After 10 days I took him to the vet and was given dewormer and antibiotics to be given once a week for 4 weeks. I was also given a whole food vitamine supplement and a can of soft food which was cat/dog food for malnourished animals. I force fed him for 2 months. After a month I tried to increase his weight I fed him 2 pinkies a week for 4 weeks while also force feeding him crickets/wax worms/night crawlers. Just before he started eating again I stopped giving the pinkys and force fed him a cricket and a Hornworm. The next night he started eating on his own. It was tough but I pulleds him through.
