Miko thankyou so much for your kind words and support!

So Moss is down to 88g now, he is eating by himself but I don't know how to get him to keep the weight on. He is now on a probiotic alongside the antibiotic (Baytril oral medicine). The antibiotic eye cream is isathal 10mg/g (active substance fusidic acid).

He doesn't seem to have the energy to be grooming himself properly, he has a wet/crusty tummy where he is walking through his own wee. He's still being active, coming out to his food bowl, his sand and stuffing new bedding back to his chamber. I'm just worried that he is wasting away, he really needs to gain some weight to help fight the infection.
