I need advice on home treatments, every exotic vet within hours of me is closed.
Patches has diarrhea, shes really lethargic, and she wont eat or drink. I'm not sure what caused it. We havent introduced anything new into her diet... I dont know whats going on and honestly terrified that I'm about to lose her.
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Please follow the syringe feeding and watering advice. Be aware that severe diarrhea can kill. See a local general vet if necessary for subcutaneous rehydration.

Sadly she passed away on the way to the vet.
I would like to thank everyone again for trying to help her.
 
I'm so sorry to hear that Patches didn't make it
Some people find it helpful to post something on the Rainbow Bridge section.
Rest in Peace little Patches 🌈
Take care of you @Amber42 💕
