[QUOTE="Tgotty90, post: 114779, member: 8413"] Thanks for the advice and condolences. Definitely having a hard time figuring out the cause so did start documenting everything going on right now. I have a few different scenarios on what it could be but still no complete explanation. First thing im thinking would be poison being most common reason for these symptoms is exposure to pesticides and the fact I did treat the exterior of my house at the beginning of March as I do every year and never had issues before. 5 now out of 20 showing symptoms and none exactly at the same time wich makes me think viral more than poisoning. Next would be that this is a parasite problem. My first T to go was a avic i picked up back in December wich I believe was a male. I never noticed symptoms of dks, wasnt exactly watching for it then either so hard to say. But a week later did notice my porteri acting strange and she lost the fight. since then 3 have shown the same symptoms so thinking its a parasite since its more like a epidemic, going one at a time. If all were exposed at the same time, why is there gaps between each T doing this? Very concerned for the rest of my Ts and doing everything possible to keep this from spreading. but I fear the worst. I've separated all I feel are safe and made sure they're well cared for before trying to help the other's. Haven't lost faith yet but the next few weeks are going to be tough. [/QUOTE]
