Arthur has not been well recently. He had runny nose syndrome. We took him to the vet and got antibiotics. On the vet's advice (reptile specialist), we changed his set up from a vivarium to a tortoise table. The temperature under the heat/uv lamp is 32C to 34C and in the twenties everywhere else.
The problem is his appetite. Since being on the meds, he has eaten less and less. He's been off them for a week now and still no change. He's no longer blowing bubbles and is far more active than he has ever been! He is bathed daily and I bathed him yesterday in baby purée.
The vet suggested a vitamin B injection to boost his appetite but I am wary of that because of the stories I have heard on here. I apologise for the long post but I'm at a loss to know what to do for the best. Any advice would be gratefully received.
