 Savannah Monitor not eating

Hi there. I have a very young savannah monitor that I’ve had for a few months now. About two or three weeks ago, this little guy became impacted. I thought I was going to lose him, but managed to pull him through with diluted gatorade, olive oil, and lots of warmth. He is refusing to eat now, though, and is very lack luster. He has no energy whatsoever and I’ve been having to force feed him. I have two adult savannahs and have never seen this kind of behavior from them. They’re voracious, actually! Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thank you so much. Also, if there happens to be a savannah lover in the Washington area that is interested in adopting a young savannah, I would like to rehome this fella. I’ve never had one as young as he, and I don’t want him suffering because of my ignorance. My big guys are doing great, but I don’t feel like I’m doing this little guy justice. I’d be more than happy to give him to someone that knows what they’re doing and can take better care of him than me. Thank you again.

He’s probably dieing! take him to a Vet.
