Swampthingfromhell Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I’ve had a group of six female wide horn hissers for nearly two years. A two weeks ago or so, I found one on her back. Her legs were curling under her and she couldn’t walk. I gave her water on a qtip and put her back in the tank and kept an eye on her. She literally did not move, but I got her to drink off a qtip everyday for around a week. Then I find one dead. I assume it’s her and that it was old age, but then I find another the same way. I’m unsure if this is the original sick one and another died or if a new one has fell sick. I keep qtip watering and get her to eat some strawberry. Today, my favorite who I can always tell apart is doing the same thing, her legs just seem to be locked up. I had a flea problem with my cats awhile back and gave them topical flea meds and there were also some fleas that had got into the roaches’ bedding. I gave the cats the medicine probably at least a week before my first girl got sick. Could the flea meds have poisoned them? If so is there anything I can do to save them now?

MrGhostMantis Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Flea meds are often responsible. Did you touch them or their food after touching your cats or the meds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampthingfromhell Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Not that I remember but my cats lay on top of their tank sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGhostMantis Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 That was probably it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
