Dyskinetic sydrome

[phil west]

Hello

Please help!

Our p.regalis is showing signs of this disease, wierd movements as though drunk (cant think how else to describe it) we have ICU'd an isolated, is this right? any advice? what else could it be? She is one molt off maturing but has only molted on the 1st august and has not eaten since. Has not ate for 6 months but has always had fluids.

Help

Are you sure it isn't yet an adult male? Usually can carry to confusion, because the courtship movements are fast and nervous, and the males usually eat little.

If you are sure that this cannot be (also the movement caused by this syndrome is very caracteristic), then there isn't so much you can do; only try not to disturb him, give him enough humid and temperature (some people say that a high temperature can help...), and wait for the molt... If the syndrome is very accused, he'll probably die while molting; but still is posible that survives, and get recovered (I know cases).

Get luck. Greetings.
