Need a little crowd source help
Noodle(6+ year old barred tiger) has been in decline for couple weeks. Shedding, clouded eyes and developing sores. Noticed the loss of appetite 3 weeks ago with the refusal of food. Treatment had included daily water changes(bottled spring water), weak iodine soaks, new substrate and the use of silver sulphadizine on the sores.
Substrate has been coconut substrate and Noodle has had 5 gallon tank with smooth bottom water pan for years.
Noodle Has had history of bumps(on tail on head) which vet gave the silver sulph. And a treatment of baytril 22.7 mg/ml to address issue and potential of bacterial issue noted in fecal panel.
Last vet visit was year ago. Pumps were mostly reabsorbed.
Last 2 weeks condition deteriorating and vet friend(not close by) is running thin of ideas without xray and lab work/cultures. Last local place did not have much herp experience and I felt more informed then the vet seemed.
Any thoughts or ideas to try? Calcium gluc? Salt bath?
Thanks for any help
