Okay so my baby Iroh is barely 3 months old (petstore baby) and I want to know why he goes into a limp like state when in water. He is currently shedding so I tried soaking him. He is also taking medication and the vet said to keep him hydrated by giving him lots of soaks and having him drink more water.
However when ever he is placed in water he goes limp. Like closes his eyes doesn't move his front arms and just falls straight first in the water. I am not sure of the temp of the water but it is tolerable to my inner wrist. I put it on the hottest water that my inner wrist can take.
I have him currently in his water dish and I put the heat lamp over the water dish to have the water be warmer.
He keeps opening his mouth and doing deep breathing. He doesn't have another vet appointment until the 3rd.
I really don't know what to do or who to ask. He perked up a little more now as I type this. He also keeps flexing his beard and moving his head. I want to include a video but am not sure how to do that... won't let me upload using upload a file.
