So I took my 50lb male Sulcata to the vet on 6/1 due to an injury caused by my female (who I have since re-homed ). After 3 x-rays the Vet decided that he still could not say for sure that his leg was broken but was pretty sure it was. He also said that there could be an infection. I'm now giving him antibiotic injections every 48hrs (Enrofloxacin). He has not ate since. I do soak him in a large plastic pool.....today I also added Pedialyte. He took a quick sip but that was it. I have to go back to the Vet in a little over a week for a recheck....Vet said we may just have to have the leg amputated if he still is not using it at all. Is it normal for a Sulcata to have a decreased appetite on antibiotics? Any other suggestions? On top of his injury I'm also dealing emotionally with having to re-home my female. I know it was for the best but it doesn't make it any easier It's a sad time around this house. Thank you for any input.
