My gerbil Syio, has been very ill the past 3 days. He's weak, grown very skinny, his genitals look somewhat shriveled up. He is ice cold and does not open his eyes. He does make an attempt to drink somewhat but he cant drink from a bottle so I give him water using an eyedropper which works. He does nibble on food a little, but not alot. I recently was told he may have Wet Tail, so I got some DriTail and I have been giving then to him for a day now. I removed him from Malika's cage and he is in his own cage now. I put a light over the cage to keep him warm since he's so cold,...Is this a good idea? Will the light harm him? And is there anything I can do to make him live? What might he have? Also this morning I noticied he wasnt breathing very strongly but since I gave him water he's breathing a lot better and has started to chew the toilet paper roll, but still way to weak to do speedily. Please tell me how to care for him.
Please write back this is URGENT
