QuestionCoconut has very watery stools, lost alot of weight, will not eat unless force feed, and eyes are starting closed alot. Took her to a vet, supposably a exotice animal vet. Said she is very sick and will probably die. Would not administer any medication without full xrays, blood and fecal. Based on the information I have read, it seems as though it's a parasite, is there any antibiotics i can order online that I can give her. She is going to die very soon and the local vet doesn't seem to care. According to her, when can pick up another one at Petco for $20.00 .
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Answer It does sound like parasites and a fecal test should have been ordered. I can see whay she would want to be sure by going through a battery of tests, but if the fecal is positive, the baby should have been treated. There is medication online, but without a definitive diagnosis, you'd not know what to get or how much to give. If she is still fighting, I would go to another vet. The one you went to seems either too new or too callous for my tastes.
