spike is about 11 months old, always quite alert and active. This afternoon when we came home to see spike, his beard was black in certain areas and he seemed a bit lethargic. on inspection it seems some of his beard seems to be shedding. when he usually sheds he blackens his full beard, and only usually in the last two days or so of the whole shed.
we also noticed on his thermostat (microclimate evo) the last 24 hours it seems to have gone up and down dramatically.
for example, from 30 degrees centigrade to 200 degrees centigrade and back again in 15 minutes. this doesn't seem possible and think it is an error. Finally he seems to be limping/dragging himself along but we cannot ascertain if he has hurt a leg or his belly or anything. He has been eating and defecting usually so don't think that is wrong. he has had salad and morio's for the last couple of days.
does anyone have any experience of this? should we be worried? taking him to the vet on Tuesday when we have a day off just in case, but any help would be appreciated
