I'm sorry that your Tegu isn't doing to well right now.The good thing is that he is drinking.What you can do is ( if you want to ) go to the store and buy some chicken/turkey with gravy baby food and put it in a small dish and mix it up with some vitamine and calcium powder.If that doesn't work use the same mixture and put it in a syringe ( without the needle.You can get that at the store,too,where the pharmacy is ) and force feed him like that.If you end up having to do that let me know and I will let you know how to do it.I ( and some other members here ) had to do that before and it worked well.The vet told me about the baby food.Sometimes when a new Tegu is stressed out it can take a while for him/her wanting to eat.I'm just glad that he at least drinks something.Give him some time.He will be ok.
