Today went well for us, as I've seen a marked improvement in Samsons mouth. I've managed to get almost all of the plaque out and the swelling has subsided greatly. He is still breathing with an open mouth and has some mucous present but I'll take the progress on the mouth rot for now, as I wasn't expecting a recovery in a week.
I offered him food today again... I don't expect him to eat but i wish he would. He seems so skinny to me, loose skin and poor muscle tone. He seems empty as well, so I don't know when his last meal would have been, the only thing he's passed is a clear/yellowish fluid.
He Is starting to resist the mouth cleanings more and more, but we just do what we can before getting him wound right up and call it a day.
I've been promising pictures for a while now, but have had little luck snapping any of his problem areas. So I'll give you what I've got, and hopefully we can I'd him. I was told he is a borneo stp but after looking around online he more resembles a blood to me..... I'm sure one of you can nail it down for me
