Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2013 5:45 pm Baby RES dying..
My baby RES Otis is very sick and I'm almost positive he's going to die. Symptoms all point to a severe RI. Hasn't eaten in two weeks, basks all day while asleep, sleeps sitting in the water if he isn't basking, swims lopsided and kind of floats... I have him quarantined to a mini tank with uv and basking bulbs, maracyn and crushed pellets in his water. I can't afford the only local herp vet as it is $75 for the visit alone and I'm a college student. I hate watching him die, this is the saddest thing...anyone have any advice or similar stories?
