Norbert has still not been eating too much. He has been eating since he has been pooping but he's still acting odd and not eating as much as he usually does. I finally got a vet appointment for him(since the reptile vet has to be called).
She was impressed by his diet, mostly pleased with his temps and description of his enclosure, backed up the shell-rot (he does have some on his plastron) treatment I copied down from the tort forums.
I didn't have a stool sample for her...but Norbert decided to provide a fresh one for us ...he has parasite...flukes to be exact and I guess they have possibly worked into his lungs. She gave him some medication on the spot and we're giving him a couple days to see how they work and perhaps go back for a second does and some anti-biotics.
So...I'm glad I know what's going on and hopefully we can get everything sorted soon.
