Red eye concerns

[LIZZIE82]

I do not know what is wrong with my red eye, Sammy. First, I took him to the Vet on Wednesday. I was concerned because he wasn't moving and wasn't tight when he was sleeping. His legs were not under his body and wasn't like a "leaf." I get him to the vet and he was acting FINE! the vet even commented on how good he looked. I got him back in the tank and he curled up tight. He didn't get up that night but i wasn't surprised since he had a traumatic day. Last night, he started to wake up. Doing the normal running feet over body, stretching and opening and closing mouth. But, he didn't move. He was not in a tight leaf shape this morning. Would a sugar bath help perk him up? Any ideas??

I have no input but would comment that one of mine of the past few days has slept two days straight in the same place and position. Could be the weather change for me.

Hope all goes well with yours.

I'm still really concerned. He got up this evening. He was doing his normal yawning and stretching thing on the side of the tank. He wasn't moving down towards the bottom again. We picked him up, which we normally don't do, and put him in his clean, fresh Spring water. He hopped right out, ignored his crickets and clung loosely to the side of the tank. He hasn't moved since. I don't know what to do. Like I said, I had him at the vet on Wed and the little guy was just the picture of health. Happy, bouncing around, sitting on his hand looking at him. Now, he's just clings weird on the glass and is not eating. I don't think he has eaten in over a week. Would a sugar bath, pedialyte bath or something help? I'm desperate. I really don't want to lose him!

Also, should I quarantine him? I just don't know. I have a Kritter Keeper but I'm afraid that will just stress him too much. My other one doesn't bother him. I think he's comfortable in his tank now and I have a hard time keeping the temp and humidity at the correct level in the plastic containers.
