Senegalus acting crazy - Illness?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a feeling it's not digestive, and I'm starting to think he's going to need to be euthanized... I've been debating putting him in a QT but I'm concerned that the move may aggravate a broken bone, if that's what it is. Whatever it is, it really bothers me to watch it

It does look like its injured, but i dont see any signs where it got injured. Maybe genetics, since its cb. I had a endli that didnt get injured but it turn to a S shape due to genetic.

Ok finally was able to get video. He doesn't move until I put food in the tank and then he really struggles to get to it. I think he may have a broken back, or a fractured bone or something. Here's a video...

This guy is pretty skittish, so it's totally possible that he bolted into the glass and vertebrae smashed against each other... I don't think it's genetics, just because it was so sudden.

It does appear to be some issues with the spine. I've never seen it during, but have seen the aftermath of a tank full of senegals with S shaped spines. It's definitely was genetic.

It does look like he can't move his rear end. :(

I had a CB senegal that I had to euthanize - his jaw dislocated and he couldn't eat. I wonder if the CB sens are more likely to have weird things due to overbreeding?

If you have to euth, you can get clove oil at a natural food store.

Doesn't look sick. Looks as stated, something is wrong with it spine, being cb makes such a deformity more likely. I'd say that's the most likely case. In which case you don't have to euthanize it but you can if that's what you feel is best.
