    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Outside of being skinny and not eating does he show any other symptoms?
 
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.
 
Thanks, It'll be a nice reference to look back on after you get him back in shape.

I would think trying to eat and vomiting is better than not eating at all.:shrug01: What did he eat?
 
His first drink in my care. he's hasnt stoped drinking for like 8 min is that ok? He ate some chicken gizzards that he thru up. This afternoon i gave him some zilla jumpstart caloric supplement and he seems to be doing better after that.

I'd let him drink as much as he wants. Have you tried crickets? Juvie savs usually go wild over crickets.
 
I offerd him some blended pinkys and he didnt want them today i have a freind who is a exotic vet and he showed me how to feed him with the syringe so iv been fedding him zilla jump start
