Outside of being skinny and not eating does he show any other symptoms?

No he looks fine other than that and he's pretty active. They said at the shop they just dewormed him

Iv only owned him for 20 min so things could change when i get home

Oh ok, sometimes medicine can throw an animal off big time. Hopefully he'll eat something when he settles in. I would suggest a warm soak for twenty minutes; to help him hydrate.

Ok thank you for your help. this is my first time having a monitor so ill take all the help i can get

no problem. How about a before and after pic?

Ill take one when i get home for you

Thanks, It'll be a nice reference to look back on after you get him back in shape.
