REally hope this little guy is ok. What do you think the problem is Liz?

[ally1972 10]

poor little chap, please let us know how he's doing x

Soundsl ike a calcium deficiency, teeth dropping out and loss of movement is very typical, coupled with the anti biotics I suggested Vit C added to the critical care as I'm not 100% its added into it, Probiotics for the gut flora and to introduce the calcium back into the body.

 

Fingers crossed for the little guy x

[lottie_s 10]

Just checked. Critical Care has 0.6% calcium in it.

If it is then that sounds hopeful doesn't it? better than the respiratory infection that I was thinking, lets hope that its something that can be sorted, what will happen about the teeth though?

[*Peaches* 10]

If he's suffering from a calcium deficiency, thats not enough.

[lottie_s 10]

Surely the teeth will grow back as they never stop growing. They should grow back strong once there is enough calcium

[*Peaches* 10]

They will grow back yes, in the mean time they may need to clip the bottom ones so they don't over grow

It may not be a breeder, and although I can understand people feeling that they should name names, it is certainly not allowed on the forum and would be the quickest way to get the thread closed.

[mummysaz21 10]

aaahhh ok fair enough,when i say breeder i dont mean n offical one just could be somebody breeding random animals which is what happensx

[missflirtuk 10]

Aww I hope he gets better soon. Poor thing x
