Help!
My 1 yr old Northern has refused all food for 2 weeks. He is drinking water. He's usually a good eater. He's in a 4x2x18 inch. Basking is 110-115F. I run an Arcadia 12% T5 over the mesh, 11.5 inches from the slab and a Sansi 40 in the basking area as well. Humidity is usually around 55%. He does not have an upper respiratory. I've had him to the vet twice. Liver enzymes are slightly elevated as is phosphate. X-rays were negative. 2 possible protozoa were on the fecal but only 2. He's big. 930 grams a week ago but down to 880 yesterday. The vet has me assist feeding a formula and we're treating the protozoa. Should I be doing anything else? How soon do I panic? Thanks.
