I agree it does need a vet. I've seen folks try to use home remedies and there really are none at this point. I know the vet answer was not what you were hoping for. But it cannot be avoided if you dont want to lose this guy.
It also sounds like you've lost one before to an illness so i know you don't want to go through that again.
Unfortunately vets are a part of pet ownership. And when you own an exotic you always need to keep them in mind. I always put away 10-50$ a week in a savings account that I have specifically for vet trips. Exotics vets are more expensive and the best way to avoid them Is to be 200% on top of husbandry. Sometimes accidents happen though and that's why you always need to keep the vet option in the back of your mind. Abos are required at this point or he will not recover. I'm sorry. Good luck.
