Sorry for the delay just got back from vacation. So the hoodie is alive but no improvement. So here it goes. It’s been on nutritional yeast mealworms and starter crumb. It is also on vitamin water. It eats and drink but can’t swim on its own. It has been given tylon a couple of times. It only...
Sorry for the delay I’ve been on vacation. So the mergie is still alive. It hasn’t made any improvement. Eats and drinks by itself but can’t do water swimming wise. It only walks backwards and holds it head in very awkward positions upside down, and on its back are common. It’s been on vitamin...
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes it really is trying to act normal. Since this has started I've put him back on vitamins adding a powder to the water. It has only been a day and haven't seen any improvement. I'm hoping it makes a turning point the longer its on the vitamin water. Is that...
