Hi there, first time posting.
Im really worried about my axo Darwin and with some research i concluded that shes badly constipated with a lot of food ( no im not using gravel and there is nothing in my tank smaller enough for her to gooble) i usually feed her with good earthworm but last week i was gone for vacation so im giving her some minnows to hunt ( i know its not the best but she have never get any trouble with this type of food in the past) now i feel horrible because i think she just ate too much of them. when we arrive from vacation she was alright nothing seems wrong with her.. but three day later she begin to get visible veins and a little of fungus dropping out of his cloaca ( when she get fungus they dissapears by themself) so usually fungus doesnt worry me but i never see fungus out of cloaca so i start to stressed. she stop eating even her beloved earthworm no poop either ( she usually poop once a week). i start to stress more searching what was wrong with her exactly..
three day later my bf wake me up saying that she was dead. she was in the bottom of the tank on her side with two red patch on each side of her stomach ( like if she was getting a internal bleeding!) then i choose to fridge her immediatly, i thought she was going to be alright in the tank like i say she always fight well constipation and fungus by herself but this time i never saw that with her. in the fridge her two red spot dissapear but shes full of gas sometime i massage her she drop some bubble and i can put her on her belly. yesterday i found her on her side again but this time she get a red spot again on the side she was and her skin fall of i think its because she was all night long in this position and her right leg is bright red.. so i think its scepticemia with a lot of constipation.
im helpless all veterinarian in my city cant see reptile. one guy with some experience help me saying that i need to force feed my axi with daphinea because it will lubrifie her stomach. im scared to try but i know its the only option i have now beside waiting. i found a post here of someone who seems to have the same trouble as me and he use some erythromicine for the sceptie and it heal his axi but im not sure.. im hoping that if she can poop she will be able to cure all her other trouble slowly
i would like to know if someone have experience such terror with his axi and what to do i cant lose her shes only 2 years old and i have always try my best to give her confort so im devasted to see her like that. thanks for your help :'( here some picture took since the fridging.
